Interview #59: Letter to Austin Sirkin

Summary

Entry #1

Austin Sirkin

I recently received a letter from RJ. I’m posting all of the info I think is worthwhile. Have fun!

Robert Jordan

I wrote “Jak o’ the Shadows” to the tune of “Gary Owen,” but I suppose anybody can put the words to what they wish.

Entry #2

Robert Jordan

No, I’m not opposed at all to the idea of a Wheel of Time movie.

Entry #3

Robert Jordan

Wait till the Guide to The Wheel is out and check a copy. There will be some stuff that isn’t in the books. Maps, expansion on some material, historical notes, that sort of thing.

Entry #4

Robert Jordan

The unabridged audio tape should be neat, nifty, and other outdated slang. It will be just what it says: every word of the books. I am talking with the audio publisher about having sections from a male point-of-view read by a man and those from a female point-of-view read by a woman. I think it will make it even better.

Entry #5

Robert Jordan

I’m not signing any books soon, just writing one.

Austin Sirkin

I hope this helps you guys out. BTW, anyone know the song “Gary Owen”? Just checking….
