Reading Toll The Hounds, Malazan book 7, I was wondering has Steven Erikson himself had battles with depression. He is a superb and imaginative author, but so many of the characters, and even entire races are focussed on depressed and/or morbid thoughts. Thoughts of futility. So much so that perhaps some of it reflects the author’s thoughts or experiences. More likely he just wants to emphasize the difficulty of the Malazan world but it has me wondering.
That said he does inject some silly humour to jolly us up again every now and then, which occasionally cracks me up.
