I did not think that Mues' performance was exaggerated. I thought it was spot on. And, of course, it is Mues interpretation. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Edited to add:
The German newspaper FAZ wrote an article about the reading in Cologne. It not online for free, unfortunately.
It in the Monday paper (21.3.05, on page 35). It is called "Tüchtig was auf die Ohren" by Andreas Rossmann. It is quite positive.

And their is also a report about the reading in Bremen. HERE

I can only repeat myself. I enjoyed Mues' interpretation as Dread. Especially, his interaction with the Old Man. That is excactly how I'd picture them talking.
Anyhow, the author of the article from the FAZ did not like Mues either.
Personally, I hope that Mues in now so keen on reading Williams that the Hörverlag lets him read a whole book. THE WAR OF THE FLOWERS read by Dietmar Mues would be a real treat for me. I think I am going to write to the Hörverlag and suggest that to them.

@rms

if you attend the reading in erlangen, please post a report!

maybe you could ask tad what the german title of shadowmarch will be. for one reason or another, his german publisher is making a secret out of it!

Hi all,
after a few weeks of vacation I'm now back to the working world...
Besides my whole interview with Tad in Cologne, you can now download the interview as it had been on air on March 28th on RPR1 (www.rpr1.de)
On http://service.gmx.net/mc/SGSrl8E66vvxi … rDY0mqs0k2 

There you just have to click the button "GMX MediaCenter starten", then a popup window will open, where you will find now find 3 files:

- 05328_TadWilliams_Teaser_onair.mp3 (2,2 MB, teasing take where Tad tells about his family's Easter traditions)

- 05328_TadWilliams_onair.mp3 (4,2 MB, the main interview about religion and fantasy literature)

- TadWilliams_Interview_Religion.zip (10 MB, contains ALL interview questions as a text file and Tad's answers as mp3 files)

Since RPR1 is a german radio station, the on air takes are overvoiced by myself - sorry to all english readers and listeners.

Have fun!
:-)

Hey SS, you'd have to write Cajetan, since she/he uploaded this to their own webspace, and don't have access to that anymore (it asks for an access code now.) Good luck!
