Description
Astonishing the Gods follows a young man whose life is upended when he discovers he is invisible—not only to others, but to the ordinary rules of the world he thought he understood. As he moves through a realm of “invisibles,” his journey becomes a dreamlike quest for identity, belonging, and meaning, leading him to an island where invisibility takes on new forms and deeper mysteries. With Ben Okri’s Booker-winning, lyrical prose, the novel blends wonder and unease to explore themes of perception, spiritual transformation, and the hidden forces that shape human lives. Part fable, part philosophical adventure, it invites readers to question what it means to be seen—and what it costs to truly awaken.
