Ben Okri is one of my favorite writers.
The first book I read of him was: The Famished Road 1991.
On this photo is Martha van Vooren 1943- 2010.
She was a dear friend of mine from Amsterdam.
Matha was a translator and amongst a few other books,
she has also translated two of Ben Okri's books:
Songs of Enchantment in 1994 and The Famished Road in 2004
ONE OF MARTHA'S DREAMS WAS TO MEET BEN OKRI # AND SHE DID!
When I told her that I was writing a book, she said that she wanted to be in it, just short, and her name should be Suikerbuik, which means sugar tummy. She is on page 54.

made sense of it, transmuted experience, domesticated the chaos." Ben Okri
