Irenosen Okojie in conversation with Mayra Santos-Febres

There are writers who shine when they flow between fiction and reality; when their imagination merges the everyday with the fantastical. Irenosen Okojie, the multi-award-winning Nigerian-British author, draws the reader into her narrative universe with a grace that immediately captivates. Novels like Butterfly Fish and Curandera, and short story collections such as Speak Gigantular and Nudibranch, boast a boundless imagination in which the fantastic approaches reality from angles that realism cannot reach. In conversation with Puerto Rican writer Mayra Santos-Febres, she will discuss the possibilities that imagination offers for crossing borders and writing about memory, desire, identity and belonging from other perspectives.
