Greetings Shadow Chasers and Dust Makers.
Just watched this interview with Mr. Pullman that took place at St. Barnabas Church a couple of months ago. As you might infer from the title, it centers around Oxford, specifically the little province of Jericho.
Once it gets to the Q&A part, it gets really interesting. Many subjects are touched upon near and dear to readers, such as the impact of geography on imagination, the origin of Lyra's name, hot air (or to be more precise, gas) balloons via Lee Scorseby, water and land and gyptians, the wandering, wondering writing process, and a little on His Dark Materials as it's translated into movies and series'. There are definitely some good, interesting tidbits that I will probably be mentioning in my own HDM book (which I will probably be getting into later).
Philip Pullman seldom disappoints when it comes to public speaking and interviews, so enjoy!
