Hah! Look at this.

So back to what I was saying this book looks interesting.

Marlon James Builds A New World From Old Stories In 'Black Leopard'

9780735220171_custom-923445c7bd81881890feb81891233d0c3e0e456c-s300-c85.jpg
Black Leopard, Red Wolf is an epic fantasy quest — full of monsters, sex, and violence, set in a mythic version of ancient Africa. "The whole idea that you get to the age where you outgrow fairies and witches and wonder and so on, to the point where people who like that are considered kind of immature and nerdish — has always struck me as pretty ludicrous," James says.

If you don't know James, he is a Jamaican writer whose previous book won basically every single award you can think of. This book was both his story but also built on research into African mythology. He still heard parts of it growing up so it wasn't completely squashed but learned a ton. His statements on homosexuality and gender fluidity in the mythology and writings of the old cultures and so on are highly interesting and probably not what you would think.

Also the interview is just a joy and worth listening to.

So there you go [chat]. Enjoy.

    A tube-like organ to help mobile gametes get to immobile gametes isn't exactly complicated tho

    Not to diminish the glory of the penis or anything

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
