Des news de Robin Hobb
Robin Hobb a accordé une interview en anglais a un blog.
Elle y évoque notamment le personnage de Fitz
"I think the people who didn’t identify with Fitz may well connect with Nevare. I think that different stories and characters speak to different people. Why not a multiple point of view for this story? Well, so much of it is an internalized story for Nevare that I felt most comfortable staying with him and telling it from the point of view of the person most deeply meshed with the action. If I had ventured into the other points of view, I think the story would have become immense; there would have been too many threads to follow. Keeping a story under control and within limits can be very tricky. So the writer has to choose the point of view very carefully."
et elle parle de ses projets :
"- You recently said that there were six different projects you were toying with in regards to your next novel/series. In a post that created a ripple of excitement among your fans, you said that you were considering returning to the Rainwilds and that you missed Kennit. Have you made a decision as to what you will be writing next? Say yes!
Yes, I’ve made a decision. And one book will be set in the Rainwilds. And that is as much as I’m going to say about it right now, mostly to avoid setting expectations up. I will say, clearly, that I’m not going to write the ‘next chapter’ of Liveship Traders or pick up the previous cast and just extend their lives.
The other projects remain viable and are things I’ll continue to work at on the side. Some of them are unfolding in very interesting ways. Some are more Lindholm than Hobb. All of them are things I want to write. I’ve just decided that the Rain Wild story will come first."
tout ça est sur : http://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com/2007 ... rview.html

Encore une interview de Robin Hobb, cette fois au site http://www.uksfbooknews.net.
Elle évoque le dernier roman de sa trilogie : The Soldier Son qui sort ce mois-ci. Un roman engagé autour de l'obésité.
Morceau choisit :
"KSFBN: Is there any particular element, character, theme, scene etc. in the books that seems to have resonated particularly strongly with your readership?
"Some people thought it was time for a fat hero. Other people found him disgusting."Robin Hobb: "I don't think it's a spoiler now to say that I wrote about a fat hero. FAT! And that seems to have been a very peculiar lightning rod for the hits it brought me. Some people thought it was time for a fat hero. Other people found him disgusting. I knew from early editorial reaction when my agent and I were first offering the book that I had inadvertently discovered a hot button issue. No one seems neutral about Fat. No one seems to be 'fat-blind' the way some people are race or gender blind. Everyone has an opinion.
"When I was writing the book, I began to notice how many times a day I received a message about Fat. In the grocery check out line, every woman's magazine, every gossip tabloid features at least one headline or article about Fat. Advertisements on TV, for diet food, for gymnasiums, for home fitness equipment, for 'slim down' undergarments - it's a landslide. Go shopping in a mall, and you see anti-fat products everywhere.
"The overall impression is that FAT is what is wrong with the world, and that if you can exorcise it from your life, you will be beautiful and healthy and maybe rich, and married to your one true love. You know what I think it is really about? Maybe we want to believe there is one thing about ourselves that, if we could fix it, everything in our lives would come right. We'd get the job, the boyfriend/girlfriend, or whatever, if only we could lose that extra weight and trim up a bit.
"You know the one thing that some people seem to dislike hearing? That fat doesn't matter; the person inside the fat or the boney body is what matters. The message I got from some readers was that I should not have allowed Nevare to be heroic while he was fat. I really felt that they could not see my hero because he was fat.
"And that surprised me.
"Readers can see past a dark and grim countenance, serious scars, an antisocial personality, a depressed narrator, and some really horrendous character flaws. But a Fat hero? A lot of readers boggled at that. I'm still surprised by it."
elle en dit aussi plus sur ses nouveaux projets :
"First, a single book set in the Rain Wilds. This is NOT a direct continuation of Liveships or anything like that. Readers will get some glimpses of characters they've seen before, but not a full fledged continuation of any character's story. I want to be very honest about that. It does take place chronologically after the events in Fool's Fate. And of course, things that happened in that book are going to affect things that happen in the Rain Wilds and Trehaug. That is how the world works.
"I'm putting together an anthology of shorter works by both Megan Lindholm and Robin Hobb. There will be new Hobb and Lindholm stories in that, as well as some of the older stories that are hard to find. And then, of course, I'll write another book. But I haven't definitely decided which one it will be.
"Oh, and I'm planning to contribute a story to an anthology called Warriors, to be edited by none other than George RR Martin and Gardner Dozois. That's over a year down the pipe, though. And on the side, I'm going to keep writing on my weird Christmas story, just in case. Every writer needs one odd project!"

Encore une interview de Robin Hobb. Cette fois c'est ici que ça se passe : http://www.sffworld.com/interview/235p0.html
Voici un petit extrait sur sa manière de travailler :
"Q: While the fantasy genre is filled with long series, you have always stayed within the boundaries of a trilogy. Is there a reason for that? Would you consider writing something longer?
Well, I don’t think it’s strictly true that I’ve stayed within the bounds of a trilogy. The first three Hobb trilogies (The Farseer Trilogy, The Liveship Traders and The Tawny Man Trilogy) are all linked in terms of being in the same world and having character crossovers. In a way, it’s a nine book series.
And when I wrote as Lindholm, I wore a set of books about Ki and Vandien. Four of them, in an open-ended series.
However, as a writer, I like to have a destination. I like to plan things, to pace events and revelations, to think how at a certain point, the story will turn and change everything for the characters and the readers. If you are writing an endless series of stories about the same characters, you have to put up a magic umbrella to protect your characters from extreme disasters. Well, you don’t HAVE to, but most readers do expect that the protagonist will live to the end of the story. And if there is no end in sight, then it’s almost like a television series, where the reader knows that the cast will return in the next book. Having a destination allows me to let the story unfold naturally. The characters can grow and change.
I do like to write big stories, but I’ve learned that once you go beyond three books, the mythos can become really unwieldy, and the propensity for the writer to forget and then create inconsistencies increases. With every book you add to a tale, you are taking one more chance of having things go horribly wrong and spoiling everything. It’s kind of like a juggling act. Adding one pin too many can bring everything down in a terrible crash."

Des infos sur Robin Hobb
Le site Rivages Maudits, dédié à Robin Hobb fait le point sur les dernières infos sur Robin Hobb.
Le site évoque une possible sortie en poche chez Pocket du Peuple des Rennes en mars 2008.
Forest Mage, le tome 2 de The Soldier Son trilogy, est l'un des trois livres finalistes de l'Endeavour Award 2007. Résultats en Novembre.
Et enfin le site vient de mettre la traduction d'une interview en ligne dans laquelle elle dit :
"
Maintenant que vous avez achevé la trilogie du Soldat Chamane, êtes vous satisfaite de la manière dont les choses se résolvent ? Retrospectivement, auriez-vous fait changé quoi que ce soit ?
Oh, je suis encore beaucoup trop proche du livre pour avoir ces choses-là à l’esprit. Reposez-moi la question dans deux ou trois ans, et j’aurais peut-être une réponse plus intéressante à vous fournir.
Une réponse rapide à cette première question. Je ne suis jamais « satisfaite » en ce qui concerne mes livres. Il y a toujours l’idée du livre que j’essayais d’écrire qui s’oppose à celle du livre que j’ai, au final, réussi à écrire. En ceci, je pense que je suis comme la plupart des écrivains. Mon meilleur livre est toujours celui que je vais essayer d’écrire par la suite, pas celui sur lequel je travaille ou encore celui que je viens d’achever. Le « prochain livre » est toujours celui qui sera parfait."

infos sur la bd
Sieurac a bien voulu nous répondre aussi sur le forum de Plume Rouge, un résumé de réponses à vos questions et à d'autres :
hello,
Ca fait un petit moment en effet que je n'ai pas donné de news.
Concernant le tome 1, Soleil devrait l'éditer fin Septembre. En attendant, Fabien Alquier planche toujours sur la mise en couleur des pages.
Au sujet d'Epinal:
Soleil ne semblant pas forcement très chaud pour faire quoi que ce soit pendant cette manifestation j'ai du prendre la décision d'annuler ma venue. Des raisons personnelles ont également motivé cette décision, je dois le reconnaitre.
De fait, je ne sais absolument pas ce qu'il en est de l'éventuelle exposition des planches originale, ayant jeté l'éponge de poser la question régulièrement avec comme toute réponse, un grand blanc!
Au sujet du tome 2 de l'adaptation, j'en suis actuellement aux planches 19 à 23 qui sont entièrement crayonnés et qui devraient être entièrement encrés d'ici la fin de la semaine.
Toujours d'après les infos que j'ai pu glaner auprès de soleil, ce second opus devrait sortir en Mars...mais je ne garanti rien!
