Our series of legends continues with the novelist, short story writer, playwright and podcaster Irenosen Okojie MBE! Irenosen's debut, Butterfly Fish, won the Betty Trask Award and her short story collection, Speak Gigantular was shortlisted for the Edgehill Short Story Prize, the Saboteur Awards and nominated for a Shirley Jackson Award.
