<p>I had the same single story growing up. Enid Blyton everywhere, and our side of the shelf was just... The Evil Stepmother. so of course my twelve year old brain concluded that Nigerian books meant stepmothers and the rest of the world got time travel</p><p>that's why your Talabi point is the real takeaway. nobody needs to be told African literature is great, they need to READ one book that proves it. after that, writing a sword-fighting epic in Oshogbo stops feeling like a crime</p>
