Rob, I believe robmatheny80 here, one half the hosts of Grim Tidings Podcast - for which we have a thread here - has posted to Grimdark Fiction Readers & Writers on hoping to source questions for their podcast with Bakker this Saturday!

[Quinthane]

yep. mine's the secound question on there. don't you let that bastard go without answering it. i will murder the world to have it answered.

[Madness]

Lol - yours looks to be one of three questions on there, Q .

Rob did say they wanted two questions from the forum to go with the ones they choose from facebook.

[Madness]

They had to delay recording so there's still time to get a question in on this topic. Something to prompt Bakker to wax philosophic, perhaps ?

[Wilshire]

Still looking? ->

What was his goal when he set out to write TSA? Riches? Fame? Inciting literary riots that would topple the genre?
Does he feel so far that  that this goal has been accomplished? Has it changed? If not yet accomplished, does it look like by the end of TUC that he'll succeed?

[Madness]

Yeah, I think Rob's going to reach out again before they actually interview Bakker?

The questions are on Grimdark Fiction R&Ws so far:

"As someone who would like to read your fiction but is somewhat intimidated by it, do you have any suggestions on getting started?"

"r. scott. sup? it's Quint VonCanon admirer and almost perfect instrument of the Logos (nearly had it two times last week) anyhoo my question is where can i get a good Benjuka Travel set? and a copy of Chav Times? shiny truth! Q"

Lol - and Rob was hoping to have two or three from us. I think yours is good, Wilshire.

Apparently, this is back on track so in lieu of any other questions in this thread, I'll be giving the Grim Tidings hosts some of my own.

But a couple more days to get some questions in !

But a couple more days to get some questions in !

I havea couple:

1.) Where does Theliopa's name come from?  All of Kellhus' other children have names that can be traced in influences in the books.

2.) Are skin-spies really as new as the Mandate seem to think?  There are a number of things that can be explained by them being far older, plus a quote from one of them stating they are "impossibly ancient."

[Madness]

I will pass those along when I touch base with Rob today, H.

I'm really excited for this podcast. Rob and Phil are great hosts and often this translates into remarkable interviews.

[Madness]

Rob confirms that Bakker is on Grim Tidings podcast dropping this Friday!

[Bolivar]

Looking forward to it.

[Madness]

Looking forward to it.

Same here. I'm pretty excited, as this isn't a medium that Bakker participates in much and I think that Rob and Phil have that great capacity to prompt their guests into a lull of insightful commentary.

[Quinthane]

i listened to the whole thing and though i thought i went well....i detected discrepancies in scott's voice. so....yeah, scott's been killed and replaced by a skin-spy.

...so.....thoughts?

[Wilshire]

Liked the interview, Grim Tidings does a good job with them.

Definately worth the listen for anyone around here.

Hopefully he was dead before the defiling began.
