Presentant nous mons a les novel·les

 Patrick Rothfuss opina:

"To his credit, Tolkien gave us one of the best traditions of our genre, that of elaborate, realistic worldbuilding.
Unfortunately, he also gave us the tradition of providing *way* too much information at the beginning of the story.
Tolkien is the cornerstone of modern fantasy. His impact on the genre is immeasurable. His arm has grown long….
Again, I love Tolkien. But the prologue to The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the most egregious instances of info-dumping in existence. At best, it resembles the dry essay it was intended to resemble. At worst, it’s like reading Leviticus.
(Okay. Fine. It’s really more like reading Numbers. But you know what I mean…)
And yeah, you can argue that Leviticus is a chapter in the best-selling book of all time. But the key is that the bible doesn’t *start* with that chapter. The bible starts out with action. Right out of the gate you get you have magic, “Let there be light.” You get conflict. You get character development. You get a good antagonist, drama, betrayal, exile from paradise. That’s exciting stuff. Genesis really gets the story going. It sets the hook.
That’s why the bible sells so well. Only after you get involved in the plot does Moses start giving you the heavy worldbuilding in Numbers and Deuteronomy. He did that for a reason. If he’d started the bible with the info-dump, it would have been *way* too boring. No publisher would have printed it."
