Below is a video of a discussion panel at Spain’s Celsius 232 convention, featuring
fantasy authors Brandon Sanderson, Joe Abercrombie and Patrick Rothfuss, on the Three Different Approaches to Fantasy.
Watching the video can be kind of tough for those of us who do not speak Spanish,
as every time the authors give their comments in English the whole thing has to
be translated in Spanish by the translator. With that said, the comments that
the authors give are gold, so I feel the need to share on this blog.
To make things easier, I have broken down the time frames
where the authors speak before and after the translator gives his translation in
Spanish. So see the breakdown below, and you can use that as a guide to skip to
where the authors are speaking (in English).
