Тут цитируют и комментируют интервью с Гудкайндом: http://aidanmoher.com/blog/2009/12/asides/an-aside-...
Гудкайнд: «‘First of all, I don’t write fantasy. I write stories that have important human themes. They have elements of romance, history, adventure, mystery and philosophy. Most fantasy is one-dimensional. It’s either about magic or a world-building. I don’t do either.’»
