Ben Okri was born in Minna in Nigeria. He shifted with his parents to London as a child and completed some of his primary education there. The family moved back to Nigeria where Ben’s father, Silver began to practice law providing free or discounted legal advice to the needy and these circumstances influenced Ben’s writings later. He was mostly schooled at home. He began to write for newspapers and journals. His first book, Flowers and Shadows was written along the style of realism.
Ben won the Booker for The Famished Road. It was acknowledged as the best magical realist novel from West Africa. He says, “I grew up in a tradition where there are simply more dimensions to reality: legends and myths and ancestors and spirits and death. You can\'t use Jane Austen to speak about African reality. Which brings the question: what is reality? Everyone\'s reality is different. For different perceptions of reality we need a different language. We like to think that the world is rational and precise and exactly how we see it, but something erupts in our reality which makes us sense that there\'s more to the fabric of life. I\'m fascinated by the mysterious element that runs through our lives. Everyone is looking out of the world through their emotion and history. Nobody has an absolute reality.”
