Two books into his Kingkiller Chronicle series, Patrick Rothfuss has established himself in the upper echelon of epic fantasists. The second book of the trilogy, The Wise Man’s Fear, just released; and Pat did an extensive book tour last month to catch up with his many fans. His first stop was Seattle, where I was able to catch up with him and spend some time chatting over a variety of topics.
Let me just say that Pat’s a bit sage, himself. Indeed, in the course of the evening—after the interview—he gave me some advice in relation to my own forthcoming novel, The Unremembered, that has proven both true and immensely valuable. For that, I owe him, and want to say thanks. With that said, check out the first of a three-part interview with the man himself:
This Patrick Rothfuss piece is the latest in a series of interviews with great fantasy authors, including Brandon Sanderson,Terry Brooks, Kevin J. Anderson, Daniel Abraham, Brent Weeks, and more!
Good stuff! Looking forward to the rest. I recently interviewed him for the podcast I co-host, if you’re interested. Feel free to come over to our site and leave a comment about your video interview.
It’s a joy to watch two practicing craftsmen tease insight out of one another. I’ve watched the interviews that Peter has done with Terry Brooks, and Brandon Sanderson and can vouch for them. Thanks for doing these interviews, Peter.
great interview. my first thought on watching this? omg. i have that shirt and wore it yesterday (eolian)!
