Fanny Monnier, « Travelling The Famished Road of Ben Okri or How to Revolutionize the World by Revolving Inward », Commonwealth Essays and Studies, ID : 10.4000/ces.698
In The Famished Road, Ben Okri presents a country that is on the brink of independence, a transformation that should bring drastic changes but never occurs. Although this public political revolution fails, Okri creates a revolution in perceptions for the reader, a revolution, which, rather than going full circle, spirals ever deeper and is anchored in the individual.
