A story sprouts
into
a fascinating Inverted Baobab.
The kind we can't comprehend
Never knew before a fairy tale from the pits of hunger. The spirit existence of a child called AZARO amidst humiliation starvation and exploitation .
What can be the colors, smells,touch of such AZARO dreams
......Okri tells you......
A story of growing up & playing catch up with so called modern western world. AZORO is but Africa.Modernity spreading like rash across the enchanted continent. As its rivers turn into roads.
So what is better ....???
The ever hungry giant that eats itself up in the end ??
or
....okori's witch craft??
An Africa long since transcended into world of spirits.
By the magic wand of western scheme
called
"DEVELOPMENT / TECHNOLGY/ECONOMICS"
that humanity endures today with awe.
You wonder !! Is it so different here in India ??
or in the Americas or the Australasia or Middle Asia
