Introduced to Amos Tutuola’s “The Complete Gentleman” ( https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/11169484-the-complete-gentleman) via “Black Water 2.” Tutuola’s novel “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” is what Brian Eno and David Byrne’s 1981 album is named after, which i did not know about and now would like to read.
