He Knew

On May 21 , 2019 , this sly son of a bitch gazed intoour desolate future , and now he reaps the sulphurous fruit of the sand trap he rig .

I refer , of course , toGeorge R.R. Martin , author of the wildly successfulA Song of Ice and Firehigh - fantasy series , the final episode of which — The winding of Winter and A Dream of Spring — remain unfinished . The last right entry into the serial was published over nine yr ago , and he has mostly avoided committing to when fans can anticipate fresh textile by providing vague updatesevery few months .

Oh , to inhabit in a universe without deadlines .

Some have justifiedly speculated that the manhas no pageboy . Martin himselfcontends otherwise . But on the engagement in interrogative , perhaps to lenify such doubter , Martinvolunteeredto be imprisoned on anactive volcanoif TWoW was not completed by a peg down engagement ( accent ours ):

But I tell you this — if I do n’t have THE WINDS OF WINTER in paw when I get in New Zealand for worldcon , you have here my courtly written permission to remand me in a small cabin on White Island , overlooking that lake of sulfuric acid , until I ’m done . Just so long as the bitter fumes do not screw up my old DOS give-and-take processor , I ’ll be all right .

Given the pandemic , CoNZealand ( as it ’s stylized on their web site ) became avirtual - only attendanceso betting odds that George will “ make it in New Zealand ” in the physical sense are basically zero . Indeed , the conventionconfirmedthis in its opening note today . And boy , did we apparently miss out on something phenomenal : “ CoNZealand Toastmaster George R. R. Martin lamented not having the opportunity to make a grand entrance by bursting from a composition mache kiwi on a strong-arm stage . He note member were ‘ Socially removed in our own castle but still as one , unify by our love of fantasy and science fable . ’ ”

Now , regarding his striking promise from last May , there are two option as I see it :

He had advance noesis that a cataclysmic event would shut down large gather and air travel , and made a promise fully aware he ’d never have to make good on it

It seems the answer is unmortgaged : Why did n’t you warn us , George ?
