Etonner les dieux (Pocket Book)

Ben Okri weaves traditional African myths into a contemporary setting, creating a layered narrative. I'm curious what motivated this approach and how it shapes the story's deeper meanings.

The novel's exploration of spirituality and identity felt profound, but also challenging. How did the philosophical elements impact your reading experience?

Okri's lyrical language adds a musical quality to the narrative, but sometimes it made me slow down. Do others feel this style deepens the themes or distracts from the plot?
