Episode #197: Interview w/ Wole Talabi author of The Fist of Memory

from Postcards from a Dying World · host David Agranoff

In this episode, I speak with Nigerian Science Fiction writer Wole Talabi about his first science fiction novel, The Fist of Memory.The Fist of Memory didn’t disappoint; the best way I think to describe it might be John Woo meets Arthur C. Clarke in Africa. It is certainly one of my favorite books I have read this year. A bullet opera that manages to combine a first contact story, noir, African cyberpunk, and hints of African magic.We talk about growing up as a SF reader in Nigeria, getting into writing and the construction of this amazing novel.•You can find my books here:Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW•And me here:Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_AgranoffTwitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthorBlog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/
