S20 Ep13: In Which Mur Attends Wole Talabi’s Creative Alchemy
“The primary driver of my sense of success is, ‘do I feel happy with what I’ve done?'” – Wole Talabi
Mur chats with Wole Talabi, an engineer turned author (but still engineer). They discuss the Schrodinger’s Cat of publishing, the thrill of rewriting old stories for new audiences, and the joy of challenging the norms of fiction.
