Do you have any personal experience from how Americans read the book versus other cultures?
I’ve spoken to people in England and Australia who’ve read the book. I’ve had fan mail from Spain and Sweden. As a matter of fact, I’ve been invited to be the guest of honor at the Swedish national fantasy convention next year. With a very laudatory letter, I must say.
There’s a very different view in the different countries. Everybody picks up different things. Somehow, and I don’t know how, really—it’s something I was trying for but I don’t know how—I’ve managed to make resonances in each of these countries. But, it seems from the mail I’ve received that it’s subtly different what resonances they pick up.
