Neil Gaiman Interviews Terry Pratchett on BoingBoing.net

Matt — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:01:14 +0000

Author Neil Gaiman recently interviewed Sir Terry Pratchett, following the release of Snuff, and the resulting dialogue has been published on BoingBoing.net. It’s worth a look if you’re a fan of Discworld.

NG: The Watch fascinate me. You get to do hardboiled police procedurals while still writing funny smart books set in a fantastic world.

TP: On a point of order, Mister Gaiman, the world in which Sam Vimes finds himself is hardly fantastic. Okay, there are goblins, but the overall ambience is that of the shires of Middle England. It’s all about the commonality of humankind. Shove Sam Vimes into a situation that has gone toxic and away he goes, as realistic as any other policeman and thinking in the very same ways and being Sam Vimes, questioning his motives and procedures all the way through.

Fantasy Faction has recorded a half-hour video interview with Brandon Sanderson while he was in Europe recently. The interview has some interesting discussion about The Way of Kings, the upcoming Mistborn sequel, and some of Brandon’s book recommendations.

There was also some fresh Mistborn news. The Mistborn (pen-and-paper?) RPG “is a go” and should be released this fall, and that the movie is still happening so far. The script is done and it’s being shopped around to various film companies in Hollywood.
