The Pop Quiz at the End of the Universe: Nnedi OkoraforI would like to draw your attention to this rather entertaining little interview with African-American author Nnedi Okorafor; this is part of an ongoing series titled "The Pop Quiz at the End of the Universe" (a play on Douglas Adams, I would very much suspect) on Tor.com.  

 

"Welcome back to The Pop Quiz at the End of the Universe, a recurring series here on Tor.com featuring some of our favorite science fiction and fantasy authors, artists, and others!

 Today we’re joined by Nnedi Okorafor, whose novels includeWho Fears Death (winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel), Akata Witch (an Amazon.com Best Book of the Year), Zahrah the Windseeker (winner of the Wole Soyinka Prize for African Literature), and The Shadow Speaker (winner of the CBS Parallax Award)."
