“—¿Qué me has traído? —me preguntó, emocionada.
Sonreí.
—¿Y tú? ¿Qué me has traído? —bromeé.
Auri sonrió y alargó la mano. Vi brillar algo en su palma a la luz de la luna.
—Una llave —contestó con orgullo, y me la puso en la mano.
La cogí y noté su agradable peso.
—Es muy bonita —dije—. ¿Qué abre?
—La luna —respondió ella, muy seria.
—Ah, podría serme muy útil —dije examinándola.
—Eso mismo pensé yo. Así, si hay una puerta en la luna, podrás abrirla. —Se sentó en el tejado con las piernas cruzadas y me miró con una amplia sonrisa en los labios—. Aunque yo no fomentaría esa clase de comportamiento insensato.
[...]
—Te he traído un poco de pan. [...]. Y una botella de agua.
—Eso también es muy bonito —dijo ella con gentileza. [...]—. ¿Qué hay en el agua? [...].
—Flores —respondí—. Y el trozo de luna que no está en el cielo esta noche. Lo he metido también.
[...]
—Yo ya mencioné la luna —dijo con un deje de reproche.
—Entonces, solo flores. Y el brillo del cuerpo de una libélula. Yo quería un trozo de luna, pero solo conseguí el brillo azul de una libélula.
Auri inclinó la botella y dio un sorbo de agua.
—Es maravillosa.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Patrick Rothfuss
“The problem with a lot of people who read only literary fiction is that they assume fantasy is just books about orcs and goblins and dragons and wizards and bullshit. And to be fair, a lot of fantasy is about that stuff.

The problem with people in fantasy is they believe that literary fiction is just stories about a guy drinking tea and staring out the window at the rain while he thinks about his mother. And the truth is a lot of literary fiction is just that. Like, kind of pointless, angsty, emo, masturbatory bullshit.

However, we should not be judged by our lowest common denominators. And also you should not fall prey to the fallacious thinking that literary fiction is literary and all other genres are genre. Literary fiction is a genre, and I will fight to the death anyone who denies this very self-evident truth.

So, is there a lot of fantasy that is raw shit out there? Absolutely, absolutely, it’s popcorn reading at best. But you can’t deny that a lot of lit fic is also shit. 85% of everything in the world is shit. We judge by the best. And there is some truly excellent fantasy out there. For example, Midsummer Night’s Dream; Hamlet with the ghost; Macbeth, ghosts and witches; I’m also fond of the Odyessey; Most of the Pentateuch in the Old Testament, Gargantua and Pantagruel.

Honestly, fantasy existed before lit fic, and if you deny those roots you’re pruning yourself so closely that you can’t help but wither and die.”
