Patrick Rothfuss Is About to Be Fantasy’s Next Superstar That’s true both in person when you hang out with him and it’s also true in his writing.
The structure of The Name of the Wind is almost like this Russian nesting doll - within the story, within the story, here’s another character telling another story. You feel that in his books, you feel that in his joy of telling stories. He’s just a dyed-in-the-wool storyteller. That’s for all you Dungeons and Dragons fans out there. Recently, I caught up with Miranda to discuss his collaboration with Rothfuss, the fantasy author’s “intoxicating” presence, and why the project both terrifies and thrills him. Miranda will write the music for both the show and the films, which are already being hailed as the next Game of Thrones. Kvothe, the roguish magician at the center of series, is a renowned musician, from a family of traveling troupers. In addition to the movies, Miranda is also executive-producing a Showtime series based on The Kingkiller Chronicles that will tell an origin story of sorts, set in the generation before the first book. How on earth do I just *mention* I'm working with on adapting Kingkiller? - Pat Rothfuss November 29, 2016
When Rothfuss announced the news on Twitter last year, he confessed that he didn’t quite know how to tell the world: “I might be too excited to play this elegant, Lin. I live in small-town Wisconsin.”) These days, on stages at Comic Cons, Rothfuss likes to describe Miranda as “my new best friend.” The two are working together to adapt his beloved fantasy trilogy, The Kingkiller Chronicles, into a series of movies, and their affection for one another is well-documented.
(“My friends were like, ‘Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!’” Rothfuss told me in a recent interview. When Lin-Manuel Miranda first reached out to fantasy scribe Patrick Rothfuss to tell him he liked his work, the author had never heard of the composer.
