Corraleno Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 This article by Neil Gaiman from last fall was very interesting http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/sep/24/terry-pratchett-angry-not-jolly-neil-gaiman I loved this: Terry’s authorial voice is always Terry’s: genial, informed, sensible, drily amused. I suppose that, if you look quickly and are not paying attention, you might, perhaps, mistake it for jolly. But beneath any jollity there is a foundation of fury. Terry Pratchett is not one to go gentle into any night, good or otherwise. He will rage, as he leaves, against so many things: stupidity, injustice, human foolishness and shortsightedness, not just the dying of the light. And, hand in hand with the anger, like an angel and a demon walking into the sunset, there is love: for human beings, in all our fallibility; for treasured objects; for stories; and ultimately and in all things, love for human dignity. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayne J Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 :sad: He was one of my favorites. His brand of dry, wry, cynical humor that poked fiercely at small mindedness, hatred, prejudice and unkindness was precious and unique. The world is poorer for his loss. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momling Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 One of both my favorite authors and my daughter's! It's rare that an author can reach across generations like that. We're very sad... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 "DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING," said Death. "JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH.†I had read the article by Neil Gaiman and was aware that he was ill. I guess I thought there would still be more time. It is a sad day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 :sad: He was one of my favorites. His brand of dry, wry, cynical humor that poked fiercely at small mindedness, hatred, prejudice and unkindness was precious and unique. The world is poorer for his loss. I agree. He will be greatly missed. My ds (who has almost every Terry Pratchett book on his shelves with the goal of one day having them all) is so sad today.
