I heard a rumor from a close friend of George R.R. Martin that the new book won't be released in time before the series because he was working on the prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
How does this make you feel?

I don't care.

I hope it's never released

I'm actually curious. Is it because it's mainstream or does lit view it as too simple?

>>7402187
/lit/ hates everything
Honestly I lost interest after book 3 but if the tv series can clean up the mess he made of books 4+ then I'll start watching again

It's not literature.

What is literature?

>>7402193
Fans rave about its complexity but only because they're used to genre fiction

I'd say it's complex. Look at this.
com·plex
adjective
ˌkämˈpleks,kəmˈpleks,ˈkämˌpleks/
1.
consisting of many different and connected parts.
I think it fits.

It's complex but lacking in depth.

>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that book just a collection of Dunk and Egg stories that he had already written before he started working on WOW?
>>7402233
It's just surface complexity. It may have as many characters as Iliad, but the characters, themes and philosophy of ASOIAF are far simpler than the ones of Iliad.

back to r/Literature.
