GUARDIAN MUST READ BOOKS OF 2019 'Okojie is a dazzlingly wild, bold and imaginative writer who tells stories with captivating originality and intense drama' Bernardine Evaristo 'Dazzling . . . A feast for the senses' Diana Evans ____________ 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. ____________ PRAISE FOR IRENOSEN OKOJIE 'One of the most original and innovative writers to emerge in many a year' ALEX WHEATLE MBE 'An original and highly unpredictable imagination . . . Prepare to be startled' RUPERT THOMSON '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

The temps are ridiculous today. So I looked up a project to do while I hide in a cafe.

Stunning collection of stories, poetic but grounded in reality. Well-paced, the writing is lively & propels you forward. The diverse characters and fine line between real and surreal make it fresh & engaging. Honest, well-observed, wry humour & poignant moments. Recommended.

DNF - Throwing in the towel on this one. Many of the stories are random and confusing to me.
