The Book of Form and Emptiness
Ruth Ozeki in conversation with Bee Rowlatt
Ruth Ozeki, the winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction, has a special quality of creating a space for her characters to shine. Told with compassion, Book of Form and Emptiness is the story of Benny Oh who suddenly finds himself amidst talking objects, and with a mother who has a hoarding problem, his life grows more and more clamorous. Their language is alien to him but Benny can gauge their emotions and it guides him to a delightful mix of characters that teach him how to pay attention to the most important questions and voices in his life. In conversation with writer and journalist Bee Rowlatt, Ozeki adds to our understanding of grief, growing up and our relationships with the things that surround us.
