The American publication of The Freedom Artist

Ben Okri’s The Freedom Artist was released in the US.

Here are some reviews:

Okri’s fury is plainly visible under his deliberately plainspoken prose but in a story that’s more thin than universal.

KIRKUS

This here is the heart of The Freedom Artist: a deep appreciation of literature, storytelling, and flights of the imagination; a condemnation of the tendency to dumb down great works of art; and the overriding message that true freedom can be found in the pages of a book.
