You could probably save him a LOT of time in getting his books out. Faking reality properly requires real time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sologdin Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 inappropriate PM more than likely the PM is unjustified otherwise? Socrates is promoting the idea. i read the recitation in the latter part that imbricates the techne of the strategos with the techne of the rhapsode as a reductio ad absurdum that nullifies the proposition that the poet knows what the general knows. this is the sort of hubris that socrates likes to challenge otherwise. i get your position, though--socrates is also distinguishing the two arts/knowledges that the writer has confused.

Gaston de Foix Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 What's the status of the show? Is it releasing and if so when? Let's be honest, we have 2 seasons worth at best. I tend to think PR will only start work on the last book once the show completes the story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The show is a prequel I believe. An important story that Rothfuss and um Lin Manuel Miranda needed to tell about Kvothe’s parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know, is the show a prequel because the team don't have the rights to the books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeagl Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 This series is more dead than a fucking cemetery. At this point, Rothfuss should just move on to a new series. This way, he would milk more money at least, and have a semblance of a bibliography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sologdin Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 maybe some prequels about the villains back when they were virtuous, or an illustrated coffee table book about sex ninja technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrote lesbian fanfic between Devi and Goldberry from The Lord of the Rings. Yes, really. To be honest, I wonder if Rothfuss might be better off trying some stand alones set in his existing world (minus Kvothe). The world is a genuinely interesting one.

Proudfeet Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Was that for the Suvudu character polls or something else? I think that quite a few authors got into the action, lesbian fanfics aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Cosca Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I have completly given up hope for this trilogy to ever be completed, which is sad because the two books really helped me during a tough time in my life back in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yikes. PR trying to appear bi-friendly but coming across as all male wish-fulfillment. Let me ask an uncomfortable question which has always festered with me. There is nothing wrong per se with writing that appeals to male or female wish-fulfillment. And obviously such writing appears across genres and has genres devoted to it. When I think about what makes me uncomfortable about these much derided scenes in Wise Man's Fear and this piece, it's partly the preciousness of the writing, and the blatantly wish-fulfilling nature of it. But in addition, isn't it that he is breaking the unspoken compact of plausibility between writer and reader? It's almost like we are seeing PR not just nude, but naked.
