Pullman interview you may have missed

[tamaranth]

In search of something completely different, I came across this interview with Philip Pullman, in which he talks about The Book of Dust and doesn't quite call George Bush the Antichrist ...

"He would fit write in," said the British author of the trilogy His Dark Materials

Ouch! Spellcheckers are evil and must be stopped etc.

Hadn't even noticed that!

hmm ... I've read the trilogy twice, and both times I've been desperately sad that they ended. But I'm not at all sure that a fourth book is a good idea.

no doubt I will preorder it and fall upon it with glee when it arrives, all the same :)

The ending, to my cynical old eyes, was a thing of beauty that made me well up at the mere thought of it for months after reading it.

I share your concern at the thought of another book... and also the anticipation ;o)

I was reading The Amber Spyglass in the bath (my favourite reading place), and literally crowed with delight when I got to the description of the Mulefa. For *years*, I have advocated that people should be fitted with castors; imagine my joy to find that - somewhere - evolution had come up with this very scheme.
