New Guy Gavriel Kay book on the way!!!

[pat5150]

Hi guys!

I've recently informed you that I was trying to secure an interview with Guy Gavriel Kay. Unfortunately, I have just been informed that he presently doesn't have time to do this because he is living in France, working hard on a new novel.

I was told that it would perhaps be possible next year, when the book will hopefully be released. So no interview, but a brand new GGK book on the way! A fair trade, I would say!;)

On a different note, I've added this week's New York Times bestsellers on the weblog, if anyone is interested...

Have a nice day,

Patrick

Geez...another one already?

I haven't even had a chance to check out Last Light of the Sun yet.

Since he's in France...wonder if he's working on a sequel to Song for Arbonne or another book set in that world?

Ditto about Last Light of the Sun. Have been wanting to read that one, too, heard it has a sort of Vikingish setting...

[Roland of Gilead]

The Last Light of the Sun is set during a fantasy analogue of the historical time period of Alfred the Great. So yes, Vikings are involved.

The novel is told in a much choppier style than Kay readers are accustomed to, to reflect the harsher lifestyles and climate of the setting and cultures.

It's good, but IMHO, not up to Kay's best, which to me are The Lions of Al-Rassan and Tigana.

I'm with you there. Any how any news about a Guy Gavriel Kay book is good news.
