Extrait :
"- Given how difficult it can be for British SFF authors to make it in the USA and vice versa, how rewarding is it to witness The First Law doing this well on our side of the pond, and then see BEST SERVED COLD picked up by Orbit for your first hardcover release in North America?
Joe Abercrombie : I think it’s actually relatively easy for British and American authors, certainly compared to those who don’t write in English, who face a pretty much impossible task getting their stuff looked at. Having said that, of course I’m delighted to see anyone buying and reading my books, let alone millions of Americans. Well, maybe not millions, but certainly several. How rewarding exactly? Somewhere between winning an egg and spoon race at a school sports day and receiving the Congressional Medal of Honour. I haven’t had a mass market release in the US yet, so it will be interesting (and hopefully rewarding) to see how Best Served Cold goes down in that format in June."
