"What interested me, as I always am, is to see what variations I can play upon the theme of this story." - Guy Gavriel Kay
Yup, Guy Gavriel Kay is very awesome.
He was the Guest of Honor at the latest World Fantasy Convention, and I was honored to meet him.

Yes, he is an awesome writer. I am still kicking myself for missing his last book-signing in town, but I had barely discovered him then.
The accent really threw me. I come from the same province as GGK, and I don't sound anything like that. Sounds like his work with Tolkien's son had a permanent effect on his speech.
Just out of curiosity, which of his books is your favourite?
The Lions of Al-Rashan blew my fucking mind... (Pardon my Quebecois.)
I haven't read everything he's written, but I'm pretty close, and I have to say that few writers in historical fantasy have his consistent ability to eradicate all the socks of all the readers by knocking them all off.
He's got the kind of accent you pick up when you read everything and travel everywhere. I've heard it before from worldly individuals. I suspect Neil Gaiman is vocally drifting in this direction, as well.
