Nudibranch: the collection from MBE for Literature recipient Irenosen Okojie

'Nudibranch, is dazzling, a feast for the senses, as well as a lesson in both creative and existential bravery' Diana Evans, Observer

In this collection of short stories, offbeat characters are caught up in extraordinary situations that test the boundaries of reality.

A love-hungry goddess of the sea arrives on an island inhabited by eunuchs.

A girl from Martinique moonlights as a Grace Jones impersonator.

Dimension-hopping monks sworn to silence must face a bloody reckoning.

And a homeless man goes right back, to the very beginning, through a gap in time.

Nudibranch is a dark and seductive foray into the surreal.

'Okojie has a sharp eye for the twisting stories of the city, and a turn of phrase that switches from elegance to brutality in a single line'
Stella Duffy
