![]() ![]() As it turns out, Martin brings up the book himself, and is warm and expansive on topics from fame and fortune to his progress on the long-awaited novel. But I know he has a reputation for irascibility, and I also really, really want to ask him about The Winds of Winter. We’ve spoken before, back when A Game of Thrones was about to hit television screens I’m one of those readers who feels slightly smug about loving the books before Ned Stark became Sean Bean, before Emilia Clarke became Daenerys Targaryen. There are not many writers who find their every pronouncement picked over by the press, who have sold 90m copies of their books, who are instantly recognised in public. Martin is probably one of the most famous novelists in the world. So I prepare for the interview with a certain amount of trepidation. Focus on Fire and Blood, his imagined history of the Targaryen dynasty, and all will be well. S trict instructions are issued before interviewing George RR Martin: do not ask about The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, the one fans keep haranguing him about and Martin has been writing since 2011. ![]()
