Shawn Speakman over at Random House sub-site Suvudu conducted a video interview with fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss, whose debut book The Name of the Wind caused quite a fuss when it was released in 2007 because of its ability to engross readers in the story.
Says Speakman:
I chained him to the Suvudu booth at the San Diego Comic Con and wouldn’t let him go until he had given me an interview. We thought it would only go 10 or 15 minutes. Turns out Pat had a lot to say about his debut, its sequel and what his life is like now.
He talks about his initial thoughts on Comic Con, his panel and the definition he has for urban fantasy, the structure of his trilogy and the future, the interesting story he wants to write when he is a stronger writer, his craft of writing and revision of Wise Man’s Fear, what happened to the “yearly” release of his books and woman cats.
There are four parts to the interview:
Commentary
The Name of the Wind was the best fantasy book I read by far last year, and I can’t wait to read its sequel, The Wise Man’s Fear. Everyone that I have recommended the book to was floored by it. This man is a legend. And, he wears t-shirts proclaiming the greatness of Buffy creator Joss Whedon. Could Patrick Rothfuss get any more legendary?
