Fantasy—”fiction based on the unreal”—is his true calling, however. “It touches on dreams and hope. No matter how dire the situation…there is a presumption of things coming out all right.”
There are an estimated 65,000 fan Web sites devoted to Jordan’s work. But The Wheel of Time series has not been made into a film or miniseries. (In the 1980s, Jordan wrote a series about Conan the Destroyer of film fame. The character was first created in the 1930s by Robert E. Howard.) Jordan promises that he will write “at least” two more novels in The Wheel of Time series.
“What makes Jordan so popular, I think, is that everything he writes makes perfect sense,” notes Swedish high school teacher Lars Jacobsson, 27, from Malmö. He has been a fan since 1995. “In most other fantasy books, there’s always a point where you go, ‘I don’t buy that, that doesn’t seem right.’ In The Wheel of Time, that point has yet to come.”
