The Famished Road is Ben Okri's most-celebrated novel — winner of the 1991 Booker Prize, making him the youngest African to win at age 32. The narrator is Azaro, an abiku (a spirit-child fated to die young and return to the spirit world repeatedly), born to a poor family in a Nigerian slum at the cusp of independence. Azaro decides to remain in the world of the living, and through his eyes we see a world where physical and spiritual realms blur, where political violence and family love intertwine, where beggars carry royal lineages and forests speak. Often called the African One Hundred Years of Solitude, Okri's novel reshaped what English-language African literature could do.
