Neil Gaiman interviews Gene Wolfe

...and Borders puts their conversation online, to promote Wolfe's new novel The Knight, which he describes thus:

"I didn't want to write a book based on modern fantasy at all. I wanted to imagine the kind of fantasy world someone in the 11th century might have imagined. Dragons, yes, because they believed they were real creatures. The Aelf to get away from all the cutesy images of elves. Giants like the one David killed—big, thick limbed, lumbering men, men who stood to us the way the larger dinosaurs would stand to lizards and birds."

On his website, Neil suggests the full interview might well appear in the New York Review of Science Fiction, although from the looks of it, that means it would be online sometime around 2008. Looks like we'll have to break down and splurge on the print copy.
