In 1991, at the age of 32, Ben Okri became the youngest ever winner of the prestigious Booker Prize for Fiction, for his novel The Famished Road. Twenty-five years later, Ben Okri looks back at the impact the prize had on his life and career, the roller-coaster experience of writing a book that required him to inhabit the real and spirit worlds simultaneously and how it felt to have a Radiohead song written in response to his novel.
