Explore the extraordinary imagination of Booker Prize-winner and visionary author Ben Okri - one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature. `This earth that we love is in grave danger because of us. Forests are becoming legends, rare as unicorns...'If we continue to live as we do now, there will be no world left for us to fix, Ben Okri argues in this evocative collection. He imagines messages - sent to us from beyond the end, from those who saw it coming - exhorting us to change now. Combining fiction, essays and poetry, Tiger Work displays Okri's classic blend of storytelling, fantasy and magic. `An artist's ardent plea for change' KirkusA GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR
