![Cover of The palm-wine drinkard ; and, My life in the bush of ghosts by Amos Tutuola, published 1994-01-07 by Grove Press, 307 pages](./cover-6131211.jpg)

The story I enjoyed in Black Water 2 was an excerpt from “The Palm-Wine Drinkard” (which is subtitled “and his dead Palm-Wine Tapster in the Deads' Town)

I preferred the drinkard because more of the stories in it seem like little self-contained myths. And of course I'm glad to now have a connection back to the Byrne/Eno album that I love.
