A nice interview! Not particularly a fan of City in the Jungle as a title -- hopefully he'll be persuaded to change it.
'Early Empire' novellas sound interesting, I think. Plus, he reads Banks -- I would encourage people to read his books too!

Yes, the early empire novellas would be really interesting. As would what happens to ST & Cot afterward.

What will be really interesting is to see how he deals with Kruppe, since that'll be the first character that both authors will have written extensively

Yeah, good read. Always interesting to hear about their writing process.

Great read - great find, EoDO. Thanks for sharing.
My instinctual initial thought was to sort of wonder if it's advisable for him (or SE for that matter) to still be leading interviews with the statement that Malaz is different from anything on the "groaning fantasy shelves" because it defies the archetypes and cliches. I mean there's no denying it does these things, and was something of a pioneer in doing so, but to me it feels like the last 5-7 years has seen a real explosion of the whole gritty, anti-trope fantasy - Bakker, Abercrombie, etc etc.

Good reading, and some interesting information too, looks like we finally get to see Ardata.

No my initial reaction was that City in the jungle was worse than OST. However the last one simply being called 'Assail' sounds pretty good.
If hes completed the book now when can we expect it. Also why dont the publishers just publish it as soon as hes finished (proof read as well ofcoruse)?
