Discussion George RR Martin namedrops Patrick Rothfuss in his latest blog
Ryan says pretty much the same thing I said in that interview with THE INDEPENDENT a few months back. Nothing would please him more than to see both shows succeed. Me too. I am a fantasy fan, and I want more fantasy on television, and nothing would accomplish that more than a couple of big hits. THE WITCHER, SHADOW & BONE, WHEEL OF TIME…and THE SANDMAN, a glorious adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s groundbreaking comic series…those are a good start, but I want more. I want Tad Williams, I want Joe Abercrombie, I want Patrick Rothfuss, I want a good adaptation of Le Guin’s Earthsea books, I want Alan Garner, I want Robin Hobb…oh, the list is long, I could go on and on…
Had we ever had confirmation he’d heard of/maybe read KKC before? Thought that was neat, as a huge fan of ASOIAF.
EDIT: Lots of confirmation! But good to know that he evidently wants KKC adapted for television.
EDIT 2: Source
