	Tad Williams interview at Dowse.com
		Tad Williams: I had thought originally that it might be fun to do quality epic fantasy for television, but for various reasons that didn't work out.
		Tad Williams: Without wanting to sound self-aggrandizing, until reading electronic text is a very common form of reading (that is, the province of more people than just the small number who now have things like PDAs) I think what we do with SHADOWMARCH can have an effect on where e-publishing goes.
		Tad Williams: The answer is twofold: 1) I did a lot of that stuff before I became a full-time writer, and 2) I always have a few projects going on the side, even now.

	Amazon.co.uk: The War of the Flowers: Books: Tad Williams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Tad Williams' can disturb me with a description of something nasty, which is something no other author I've read can achieve as well or as often as he does.
		Tad Williams rarely disappoints with his books - I wish he would write a sequel to the War of the Flowers - I am sure that there is a whole new tale there somewhere for Theo.
		Williams' fairies possess bodily functions and (inventively!) are even engaged in a form of parallel technology race with humankind.

	Rambles: Tad Williams, The War of the Flowers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Tad Williams' The War of the Flowers is remarkable in a number of ways, the least of which is that it is 675 pages long without a single wasted word.
		Williams does a magnificent job of keeping track of his characters and plot threads, handling them deftly without missing a beat.
		Williams provides a list of characters, places and things at the end, and while the list is useful, it is not entirely necessary; the characters and events are that memorable.

	J.R.R. Tolkien vs. Tad Williams
		Tad Williams was born somewhere in America, and grew up in and around Palo Alto, CA as the son of an average family.
		Tad Williams states having always wanted to write ‘a big epic fantasy à la Lord of the Rings’ (21) as one of the main reasons for writing the trilogy.
		The method used by Tad Williams is one employed by many writers, and, unlike many authors of the Fantasy genre, he has created perfectly good languages without having gone to the trouble of inventing new tongues.

	Tad Williams - Topic Powered by eve community
		Tad Williams is especially good at getting inside the most evil of characters and by showing the all too human frailties that drive them, far from excusing their behaviour makes them all the more monstrous rather than just formulaic cardboard cut-outs.
		The new Tad Williams novel, Shadowmarch, marks both a return to traditional fantasy and the culmination of a brave and fascinating publishing project.
		Williams made his name with the lengthy Memory, Sorrow & Thorn series: three fat fantasy books, the last of which was so huge that it had to be split in two for paperback publication.

		Tad Williams made his name in fantasy with the immense "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" trilogy (1988-93).
		Tad Williams' takes a good, well used plot idea (a small Good vs a large Evil), adds in several seemingly unconnected and capaviting sub-plots, twists the idea on its head, and somehow weaves them together into a massive behemoth of a storyline.
		Tad Williams replaced the element of plot in his story with the river and it just doesn't work.

	"The War of the Flowers" by Tad Williams - Salon
		In the first 30 pages of Tad Williams' "The War of the Flowers," the protagonist's girlfriend dumps him after suffering a nasty miscarriage, his mother dies of cancer, and he faces up to the unpleasant existential plight of being a 30-year-old rock 'n' roll singer in a band going nowhere.
		Tad Williams is the author of both the "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" sword-and-sorcery series and the "Otherland" quartet of novels, perhaps best described as fantasy cyberpunk.
		Williams displays a deft hand, creating an addictive world with its own history, mythology, internal rules, and rich, intricate culture.

		Tad Williams official website has excerpts from his books, as well as author commentary on his works.
		William's portrayal of his villains is strong, we can only wish he had graced the pages of this gigantic novel with a little more.
		The surprise unmasking of the villain however, is a surprise only because Williams drops strong, explicit hints as to the indentity, and then turns around and points the finger at someone else.

		But Williams is not content merely to show us a shallow character whose personality gradually develops; he feels the need to repeatedly tell us that Theo is shallow, then have Theo himself declare by the end of the book that, by golly, he has grown and become less shallow.
		Williams tries to get us into Theo's head early on, but is too condescending toward his own slow-witted protagonist to pull it off.

		Tad Williams mines a variety of historical traditions in his world-building, from the Roman Catholic church of the Middle Ages to the nomadic horsemen of the Asian steppes.
		Part of the challenge of creating a variety of different cultures is the differentiation of their respective voices.
		While Williams may not have created several fully-formed languages, as did Tolkien, he has certainly done a worthy job of weaving different languages and mannerisms into his tale.

		Despite the epic proportions of the story (perhaps a literary indication of Williams' mile-a-minute thought process), Otherland has sparked a phenomenon, drawing even fans who don't normally read science fiction with a mix of futurism, fantasy and social criticism.
