Museums, heists, and nightmare gods, oh my! Shaun Duke and Trish Matson are joined by the brilliant Wole Talabi to discuss his novel, Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon! Together, they discuss Wole’s approach to storytelling, just what a heist in a famous museum means, the task of writing gods with complex views of the world, influences, and so much more!
