The Game of Thrones author wants readers to 'taste' the food in his works when they read.
When it comes to Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin 's writing, there is one fairly common critique of sorts: the author often includes"gratuitous" food scenes in his work, with some critics even commenting that his books might not be quite as long if it weren't for the various"gratuitous" feasts — among other so-called excess scenes — packed in them.
He continued,"It's not the destination that matters to me, it's the journey. I have been a voracious reader for as long as I can remember. A reader of fiction, specifically. Fiction is not about getting from point A to point B as fast as possible. It can educate, but it is not educational at heart. For that, nonfiction is infinitely superior. Fiction is about emotion. The heart, not the head. Fiction gives us vicarious experience.
What's Going On With The Winds of Winter?Interestingly, Martin also addresses the next book in A Song of Ice and Fire, The Winds of Winter, in the forward as well. The author notes that he hopes readers enjoy cooking the dishes in the cookbook and that they take them back to the first time they"tasted them" in A Game of Thrones"or The Winds of Winter."
