About the book

In this inspirational volume, the Booker Prize-winning author of THE FAMISHED ROAD makes essays into an art form. The ten pieces in this beautifully crafted collection range from the personal to the analytical, including a meditation on the role of the poet, a study of Picasso's Minotaur, a paean to human freedom in honour of Salman Rushdie, and an appraisal of fellow-Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe. Lyrical, imaginative and provocative, A Way Of Being Free confirms Ben Okri's status as one of the most inspiring of contempory writers.

About the Bookclub

Joining is as simple as showing up to the monthly meet-up. You're welcome whether you've read the book or not.

We meet on the second Wednesday of each month and we welcome everybody with open arms. We provide little snacks and juice and you're welcome to bring your wine! There's a back-up generator for those load-shedding days.

Spread the love and invite others; the more the merrier! Let’s grow our conversation circle! We will share our monthly book selection via our mailing list and social media (Facebook and Instagram).
