Patrick Rothfuss
(1973 - )Patrick Rothfuss had the good fortune to be born in Wisconsin in 1973, where the long winters and lack of cable television encouraged a love of reading and writing.
After abandoning his chosen field of chemical engineering, Pat became an itinerant student, wandering through clinical psychology, philosophy, medieval history, theater, and sociology. Nine years later, Pat was forced by university policy to finally complete his undergraduate degree in English.
When not reading and writing, he teaches fencing and dabbles with alchemy in his basement.

Patrick Rothfuss recommends
Among Others (2011) Jo Walton "A lovely story, unlike anything I've ever read before: funny, touching, and gently magical." | Agatha H. and the Voice of the Castle (2014) (Girl Genius, book 3) Kaja Foglio and Phil Foglio "Girl Genius has everything I look for in a story." | The Incorruptibles (2014) (Incorruptibles, book 1) John Hornor Jacobs "One part ancient Rome, two parts wild west, one part Faust. A pinch of Tolkien, of Lovecraft, of Dante. This is strange alchemy, a recipe I've never seen before. I wish more books were as fresh and brave as this." |
The Book of Phoenix (2015) (Who Fears Death) Nnedi Okorafor "[Okorafor's] books are fresh, original, and smart. We need more writers like her." | Chapel of Ease (2016) (Tufa, book 4) Alex Bledsoe "Imagine a book somewhere between American Gods and Faulkner. A good book. Absolutely worth your time." | Conspiracy of Ravens (2016) (Shadow, book 2) Lila Bowen "I enjoyed the hell out of it." |
