Marlon James listed this as an inspiration for Black Leopard Red Wolf! Very neat to see where he's picked out and adapted different pieces of Tutuola's writing. 

Very odd little novel. I like how time and space aren't really a priority for Tutuola and he instead focuses on some of the strangest images I've read. I'm a big fan of the intersex lesbian commune!
