…and make a story that tackles xenophobia, Othering, Orientalism, and fetishization, and who could do it all in a way that a) wasn't ham-fisted, and b) was actually by turns poignant, horrific, affecting, and genuinely funny. Just… Goddam I miss Terry Pratchett.
And he did it while suffering from the Embuggerance. I miss him dearly.
Yes! I’m on Thud, so Snuff is up next. I’m glad he was prolific and I make myself read other things in between each book to stretch it out.
it was good? i haven't read that one yet… the next to last one i read was kinda disorganized and hard to follow, which was heartbreaking
Whenever I go back to reread Pratchett, there's always something more to the text. Something I forgot or didn't register last time but I needed it this time and there it is.
I think about him all the time, and I wonder what he would’ve done with all of, you know, this.
He was very talented
