The Transformation of Realism in Selected Works of Ben Okri
$53.25
The author, in this work, has exposed ritual strategies that establish the Abiku concept in African literature and provided access to intangible realms and narrative devices, such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, astral travel and use of animals as agents of sight, through which Ben Okri in the selected texts alters the protocols of realist representation and subverts the universalizing values of Western culture. The implication of the supernatural in the plot structure of the selected texts is interrogated, and how this has widened the scope of literary realism.
