I vote yes, eventually, but not before the TV series finishes and it will be markedly worse than the early books. Also he won't complete the series.
What baffles me the most is that the final 2 books should be the easiest to write, not the hardest.
He's known how he wants to story to end for almost 30 years. He should be able to write these books in his sleep.
I genuinely don't think he gives a fuck anymore.
Seems like it's actually pretty close to done (not even memeing), so I don't doubt that. Dream of Spring however, no chance, he doesn't have that many years in him.
He either doesn't give a fuck because he now has the money, he's lazy, or he's both. Gene Wolfe is in his late 80's and the madman is still going.
Yes, maybe by the end of this year.
He'll never finish Dream of Spring though, by then the show will be over and he'll have no motivation to complete it.
>show will be over
In your dreams. Yes, the show proper might be over, but HBO is not going to let its biggest cash cow and the most popular show of all time go quietly into the night. Pretty much, the second it's over, they're going to put a spinoff into development. Assuming they haven't started already.
>he doesn't have that many years in him.
Hes only 69 though
>He's known how he wants to story to end for almost 30 years
Hasn't it bloated massively in those years, though? Knowing how it ends =/= knowing how to get from the current state to there. Also with all the guessing online plus the TV show he's probably tempted to at least change his planned ending, if not replace it- assuming he can be bothered to write that far, of course.
> In May 2017, HBO commissioned five screenwriters – Max Borenstein, Jane Goldman, Brian Helgeland, Carly Wray and Bryan Cogman – to develop individual spin-offs. All of the writers are to be working individually with George R. R. Martin.[62][63] According to Casey Bloys, Martin is co-writing two of the four announced scripts.[64]
