Джордж Мартин про "Ветра Зимы" в своем блоге.
Запись раз: Something else is going to be happening on April 8 as well. (Or maybe on April 9). No, I am not announcing the completion of THE WINDS OF WINTER, the sixth volume of A SONG OF ICE & FIRE. Please don’t start any rumors to that effect. I am so tired of having to issue denials every time some offhand comment of mine, most having nothing to do with WINDS, somehow convinces half the internet that the book is imminent. It’s not. No. (Maybe I need to stop making offhand comments)
Запись два: That part was right. Only the date was wrong. Colossal Biosciences, out of Dallas, had it all lined up so the story would break on April 8, in dozens of different magazines and magazines all around the world, and of course on the internet. Only it turned out that one of the news outlets jumped the gun, and broke the story this morning while everyone else was sleeping, so the rest of the world had no choice but to scramble along afterwards. So D-Day came early, on April 7 instead of April 8.
Welcome to Direwolf Day.
Дальше наш любимый мэтр разражается хвалебной речью в адрес Colossal Biosciences, что особенно забавно с учетом научных фактов.
Не
direwolf day, по правде если, а
simulacrum direwolf day.
C другой стороны, мало кто может похвастаться, что по его книге сделали настоящее животное)
Поздравляем Мартина, душним и ждем "Ветров зимы"
