These stokus are just as carefully crafted as the previous section of the book, they are also highly symbolic but easier to digest as they are written in a more familiar way, and with a more tangible plot. These stories are beautiful, touching, startling, thought-provoking and countless other adjectives that all come together to mean outstanding writing. I would recommend this book to anyone; it really reminded me why I love literature, the author's passion for his art shining through with every word.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Mystery Feast: Thoughts on Storytelling by Ben Okri]].
Further reading suggestion: If you liked Tales of Freedom then I would recommend reading Ben Okri's booker prize winning novel [[The Famished Road by Ben Okri|The Famished Road]], or alternatively if you want more literary short stories then try [[It's Beginning to To Hurt by James Lasdun]].
