## Resource

For this episode, Gary chats with the very busy and very talented Nnedi Okorafor, who has had quite a year with the publication of major new novel Death of the Author; One Way Witch, the second novella in her She Who Knows trilogy; Space Cat, a children’s book starring her own cat Periwinkle; and The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2025, which she co-edited with John Joseph Adams. We chat about what she’s been reading, her fondness for Stephen King and Peter Straub’s The Talisman, and what’s up for next year, including the final volume of that trilogy, set in the world of her World Fantasy winning Who Fears Death.
