EUOLogy: On Pullman and Censorship
Categories: EUOLogies Books(Note: For background on why I wrote this, please read this blog post. Thanks.)
To whom it may concern,
INTRODUCTION
Let me introduce myself. My name is Brandon Sanderson. I have a Master's Degree in English from BYU, where I now teach creative writing. I'm a practicing member of the LDS church, and am a best-selling fantasy novelist.
A couple of weeks ago, I received an email regarding the movie "The Golden Compass," a movie which is being released this Christmas. The email was very critical of the movie and the books it is based on, warning people NOT to go see the movie or read the books because of their anti-religious content. They explained that Philip Pullman, the author of these books, is an atheist, and—with these books—is trying to convert our children away from the worship of God. At the same time, I've heard of local libraries and schools being asked to remove these books from their shelves.

We just finalized negotiations on a four-book contract, including two books in the Warbreaker series and two books starting a new series. First book of Warbreaker is scheduled for a May 2009 release. Huzzah!
EUOLogy: Emotion vs. Thought, Revisited
Categories: EUOLogies BooksSo, I just did a signing at the BYU Bookstore. I like signing there, if only because the staff is so nice. Education week is a crazy time. It's a big conference that the school holds between the end of summer semester and the beginning of fall semester, so there are tons of people there taking seminars and the like, very few of whom are actual students of the school. Anyway, the bookstore gets a lot of traffic, and so it's generally a good time to sign.
