The Famished Road: Ben Okri's Family Romance?

Résumé

This article suggests that by breaking the cycle of the abiku in The Famished Road, Okri inserts Azaro into a lineage that turns him into a storyteller. It explores the nature of parent-child relationships in the novel from this perspective, using the concept of family romance to show how the association of family with storytelling reverberates in Okri’s writing.
