The Times published a new article about Robin Hobb yesterday, the 17th of September. It discusses the fantasy genre vs. main stream literature, ideas behind her previous trilogies, Hobb's life experiences and introduces Shaman's Crossing (slight spoilers for the themes and characters). They have an online version of it available, so you can read it at their site. It's titled Hits and near-myths .
