So let’s have a look at some entry points for new readers to the Discworld and Terry Pratchett. So what I want to talk about today is the debt that I owe to to Terry Pratchett, and how I’ve come to terms with that comparison.īut I’m also aware there are people out there who won’t have read any Terry Pratchett, and they will look at all the backlist and… It’s a bit bewildering and thinking, Well, where do I start? It’s probably one the most common questions from any new reader. And like any fan of Terry’s work, my first reaction when someone says, “This this is just like Terry Pratchett!” is, I’ve not got everything he’s written, but I’m fairly close. It’s safe to say that no writer has come close to capturing my imagination in the way that he did. I’ve been reading Terry’s books since I was 14, 15 years old, which is over 30 years. In the description of my new book, The Crow Folk, the publisher has written “For fans of Lev Grossman and Terry Pratchett,” and a bit further down there’s lovely quote from the author Ian Sainsbury, who says “Pratchett fans will love this book,” which is a comparison that both thrills and terrifies me.
