| | The SF Site: A Conversation With Tad Williams |
 | | His novels include Tailchaser's Song, the bestselling Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn epic fantasy trilogy, the stand-alone fantasy Caliban's Hour, and most recently, the four-volume Otherland science fiction series: City of Golden Shadow, River of Blue Fire, Mountain of Black Glass, and Sea of Silver Light (still to be released). |
 | | Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn was really about becoming an adult, and then I jumped immediately into books that dealt with mortality, which is what Otherland is about -- coming to grips with mortality, or not coming to grips with it and fighting against it. |
 | | From a chronological point of view, I think the next book will be what should have come between those two: a book about adulthood in the normal sense, with mortality only being a part of adulthood, and also being a parent and looking back on your youth and trying to make sense of it. |
