The Show, the Books
May. 18th, 2015 at 12:55 AM
I am getting a flood of emails and off-topic comments on this blog about
tonight's episode of GAME OF THRONES. It's not unanticipated.
The comments... regardless of tone... have been deleted. I have been saying
since season one that this is not the place to debate or discuss the TV
series. Please respect that.
There are better places for such discussions: Westeros, Tower of the Hand,
Watchers on the Wall, Winter Is Coming, the comments sections of the
television critics who regularly follow the show: James Hibberd, Alyssa
Rosenberg, Mo Ryan, James Poniewozik, and their colleagues. I am sure all
those sites will be having a healthy debate.
I have a lot of fans asking me for comment.
Let me reiterate what I have said before.
How many children did Scarlett O'Hara have? Three, in the novel. One, in the
movie. None, in real life: she was a fictional character, she never existed
. The show is the show, the books are the books; two different tellings of
the same story.
There have been differences between the novels and the television show since
the first episode of season one. And for just as long, I have been talking
about the butterfly effect. Small changes lead to larger changes lead to
huge changes. HBO is more than forty hours into the impossible and demanding
task of adapting my lengthy (extremely) and complex (exceedingly) novels,
with their layers of plots and subplots, their twists and contradictions and
unreliable narrators, viewpoint shifts and ambiguities, and a cast of
characters in the hundreds.
There has seldom been any TV series as faithful to its source material, by
and large (if you doubt that, talk to the Harry Dresden fans, or readers of
the Sookie Stackhouse novels, or the fans of the original WALKING DEAD comic
books)... but the longer the show goes on, the bigger the butterflies
become. And now we have reached the point where the beat of butterfly wings
is stirring up storms, like the one presently engulfing my email.
Prose and television have different strengths, different weaknesses,
different requirements.
David and Dan and Bryan and HBO are trying to make the best television
series that they can.
And over here I am trying to write the best novels that I can.
And yes, more and more, they differ. Two roads diverging in the dark of the
woods, I suppose... but all of us are still intending that at the end we
will arrive at the same place.
In the meantime, we hope that the readers and viewers both enjoy the journey
. Or journeys, as the case may be. Sometimes butterflies grow into dragons.
((I am closing comments on this post. Take your discussions to the other
sites I have mentioned. And for those who may be curious as to the road the
books are taking, I direct you to the WINDS OF WINTER sample chapters on my
website)). | k***r

2个producer的baby， 我猜想在其他地方， 老头也表达了同样的意思。
电视不可能像书铺地那么开的， 毕竟budget 有限 |
