From the archives: Marlon James on 'Black Leopard, Red Wolf' - a podcast by Minnesota Public Radio

Novelist Marlon James is out with the second novel in his fantastical trilogy. It’s called “Moon Witch, Spider King,” and host Kerri Miller will talk to him about it at noon Friday as part of Big Books and Bold Ideas.

In the meantime, we thought you might be intrigued to listen to their 2019 conversation at the Fitzgerald Theater.

They talked about “Black Leopard, Red Wolf,” and he described what it meant to set the series in pre-colonial Africa, immerse himself in African lore and mythology, and draw from his own childhood in Jamaica.

Use the audio player above to listen to the conversation.
