Winner of the Booker Prize, Ben Okri doubles the festival spirit on offer with Madame Sosostris & the Festival for the Broken-Hearted. Inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream and 'The Wasteland', it’s written with Okri’s unique and hypnotic blend of realism and magical realism, with language that conjures myth and slides into poetry. Today, he discusses bewitching fables, human connections, and the transformative power of festivals.
