Une interview de Patrick Rothfuss

[jerome]

Patrick Rothfuss est en interview dans le magazine Locus. Des extraits sont à lire ici.

L'auteur du Nom du Vent parle de fantasy :

‘A couple of hundred years ago, literary fiction realized, ‘To write tragedy, we don’t need a king!’ Fantasy is just now starting to make that same realization, because we’re a newer genre. We don’t need a goblin army. We don’t need The End of the World. Not that those things are bad. I’ve seen them done well, but unless they’re handled with skill, they become cheap props (even worse, cheap, overused props). Just the story of a man’s life – a person’s life – is fascinating if you tell it the right way.”
