George R. R. Martin Zitate

Over the years, more than one reviewer has described my fantasy series, 'A Song of Ice and Fire', as historical fiction about history that never happened, flavoured with a dash of sorcery and spiced with dragons. I take that as a compliment.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Im Laufe der Jahre hat mehr als ein Rezensent meine Fantasy-Serie "Ein Lied von Eis und Feuer" als historische Fiktion über Geschichte beschrieben, die nie passiert ist, mit einem Schuss Zauberei versehen und mit Drachen gewürzt. Ich nehme das als Kompliment.

I am not a fan of historical fiction that is sloppy in its research or is dishonest about the real history.

Kate Mosse

It's still funny for me to think of myself as someone who writes historical fiction because it seems like a really fusty, musty term, and yet it clearly applies.

Susan Choi

The thing that most attracts me to historical fiction is taking the factual record as far as it is known, using that as scaffolding, and then letting imagination build the structure that fills in those things we can never find out for sure.

'War and Peace' holds a strange place in literary history, participating in the crowning of realism as a substantial and serious literary mode in America, even as the novel also contributed to the argument that historical fiction could be by nature dangerous, illegitimate, and inaccurate.

Alexander Chee

I can't read historical fiction because I find the real thing so much more interesting.

Antonia Fraser

When I was growing up I loved reading historical fiction, but too often it was about males; or, if it was about females, they were girls who were going to grow up to be famous like Betsy Ross, Clara Barton, or Harriet Tubman. No one ever wrote about plain, normal, everyday girls.

Kathryn Lasky

I like to write stories that read like historical fiction about great, world-changing events through the lens of a flawed protagonist.

Carol Berg

Cultural concepts are one of the most fascinating things about historical fiction.

Diana Gabaldon

'Dreams from My Father' was not a memoir or an autobiography; it was instead, in multitudinous ways, without any question a work of historical fiction.
