Guy Gavriel Kay Zitate

When we work with history, to a very great degree we are all guessing. But by using motifs of time and history in a fantasy setting, we are acknowledging that this educated guesswork, invention, fantasy underlie our treatment of the past and its peoples - and we are not claiming a right to do with them as we will.

Wenn wir mit der Geschichte arbeiten, raten wir alle zu sehr. Indem wir Motive aus Zeit und Geschichte in einem Fantasy-Setting verwenden, erkennen wir an, dass diese gebildeten Vermutungen, Erfindungen, Fantasien unserer Behandlung der Vergangenheit und ihrer Völker zugrunde liegen - und wir beanspruchen nicht das Recht, mit ihnen zu tun, wie wir wollen.

The thing that is most important is having people who are involved and engaged with the kids and also are not stressed and can be involved with them. And that's actually not boring and banal. That actually takes a lot of work to make that happen, and it's not something that our society does very well at all.

I mean, I don't know anything else that I would try to do, but it's a very frustrating thing to do, because you are trying to take what's a fantasy in your head and make it live through the minds of 200 people.
