As you said, it's because I enjoy reading it, but I enjoy reading it because. Still, we can make a stab at coherency, eh? I'm still waking up as well - takes a few cups of tea and a few strips of bacon before the little gray cells start firing properly - so if I sound a bit muddled, that's why. Definitely one Of the highlights of the year. We all had a wonderful time when you guys visited. ![]() In a similar vein, do you have another kind of fiction, another genre, that you'd really like to try? If so, why? Any genres you think you'll never write but wish you could?Ĭhristopher: Hi Tad. ![]() Why do these kind of stories, these kinds of characters, these kinds of worlds, still speak to you? The first thing I'd like to ask you as a starter question is: why fantasy? I mean, there's the obvious answer (which is also true for me) that it was something I loved to read growing up, but I guess I'm curious what is it that still resonates for you. Pretty much all of us fell in love with your part of the world, too.īe warned: this isn't my best time of the day, so if I start calling you "Herman" and asking what it was about whaling that interested you, please forgive. It was great hanging out with you and your family this summer. Read on for Williams and Christopher Paolini's discussion about why they write fantasy, their upcoming projects, and more. ![]() Tad Williams is the New York Times bestselling author of several epic fantasy series. Tad Williams and Christopher Paolini: Author One-on-One ![]() ![]() ![]() There are interesting ideas for compositions on the net or on photo and design softwares, which also provide guidance on how to put it all together. So I developed the idea of a scrapbook, arranging the images on artistic backgrounds and accompany them with brief excerpts from the book. In the past I had used some images to present short passages from the book on my Facebook author page, and I thought that perhaps I could do something a little more creative with it. I wanted the readers to have a feel for the characters, the atmosphere and the writing style, as well as the plot, immerse them in the book experience, and somehow I felt a trailer was not the best way to convey it. I had a go at it myself, with my first novel, “Playing on Cotton Clouds” – and uploaded it on my Youtube Channel įor my second novel, “A Summer of Love”, I wanted to try something different. The book trailer has now been around for some time, and many authors have utilised the media to advertise their upcoming or published book. Previews and excerpts allow a peek into the story and the author’s writing style.īut in an age when people’s attention span is short and immediate, authors have been finding new ways of attracting audiences to their books. Of course a great cover and an interesting blurb are always the first steps to entice readers’ curiosity. While artists and musicians have a fairly immediate way of presenting an image or a four minute song, it is harder for writers to capture the imagination of readers. ![]() How do you bring a book to life, when introducing it to potential readers? ![]() ![]() ![]() And that’s just the first half of the story, before the pandemic, before George Floyd. ![]() The Sentence covers a lot of ground, from ghosts to the joys and trials of bookselling to the lives of Native Americans and inmates doing hard time. Moving at its own peculiar rhythm with a scope that feels somehow both cloistered and expansive, The Sentence captures a traumatic year in the history of a nation struggling to appreciate its own diversity. The novel’s ectoplasm hovers between the realms of historical horror and cultural comedy. The great arc of first 30 pages - zany body-snatching! harrowing prison ordeal! opposites-attract rom-com! - could have provided all the material needed for a whole novel, but Erdrich has something else in mind for The Sentence: This is a ghost story - though not like any I’ve read before. Such is the mystery of Erdrich’s work, and The Sentence is among her most magical novels, switching tones with the felicity of a mockingbird. Neither a grim rehashing of the lockdown nor an apocalyptic exaggeration of the virus, her book offers the kind of fresh reflection only time can facilitate, and yet it’s so current the ink feels wet. The coronavirus pandemic is still raging away and God knows we’ll be reading novels about it for years, but Louise Erdrich’s The Sentence may be the best one we ever get. ![]() ![]() When my one month of the school almost end it was better but not much because I still don’t know the language. Sometimes I met with some of students if they talk good things about me or not because I don’t understand the language. I also feel like I’m a stranger to this country. I feel like I not fit in because it hard to find help when you don’t know the language. I don’t even where I have to eat but even if I know it I will not know how to get it and what should I take or not. ![]() I was bored in class because I don’t have any friends to talk to and have anyone to sit with.
