Incidents at the Shrine is the first collection of stories by the author of 1991 Booker Prize-winning novel, The Famished Road. Whether the subject is a child's eye view of the Nigerian Civil War, Lagos and the spirit world or dispossession in a decaying British inner city, Okri's lyrical, poetic and humorous prose recreates the known and the unknown world with startling power.

There is certainly a healthy dose of African mysticism within these tales which I don't pretend to comprehend and as such I find this a hard book to review. On one hand I enjoyed Okri's lyrical writing style and beautiful depictions yet on the other I feel that I failed to grasp the stories true meanings. I also found it easier to dip into the book for one story at a time rather than trying to merge several at a time. All in all I found this a somewhat frustrating book to read hence the low marks. ( )
