Yes, I read it. He says at the end (and I read it carefully the first time, thanks very much)
Quote:And Gareth, in the future, when you see other people complaining that George R.R. Martin has been spotted doing something other than writing the book they are waiting for, explain to them, more politely than I did the first time, the simple and unanswerable truth: George R. R. Martin is not working for you.I disagree. Martin IS working for his fans, his audience (as well as his publisher and himself). I don't think artists are that different from butchers. They sell a product, and the consumers of that product are who they are, at least in part, beholden to.
Hope that helps.
