Notes
George R. R. Martin in The New Yorker
The New Yorker writes about George R. R. Martin, his fans, his angry fans, his fantasy epic, A Song of Fire and Ice, the upcoming HBO series based on it, and his next book, A Dance of Dragons, six years in the writing: “I’m living the dream here. I have all of these readers who are
waiting on the book. I want to give them something terrific.” There was a
pause. “What if I fuck it up at the end? What if I do a Lost? Then
they’ll come after me with pitchforks and torches.”
