Tiger Work

'Both a work of lyrical imagination and a warning about the dangers we will face unless we take immediate action' New Yorker

'An artist's ardent plea for change' Kirkus



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, Booker Prize-winner 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, essay and poetry, Tiger Work displays Okri's classic blend of storytelling, fantasy and magic.
