"The Wintersmith’s desire, in many ways, is no less than a lot of races on the Disc, who have been fighting these past thirty something books for the chance to be treated as nothing less than human."

In the latest Discworld Discussions, Nat looks at Going Postal, one of the only Discworld novels to be made into a film.

DISCWORLD DISCUSSIONS: A Hat Full of Sky (2004) https://culturedvultures.com/discworld-discussions-hat-full-sky-2004/ https://culturedvultures.com/discworld-discussions-hat-full-sky-2004/#disqus_thread Fri, 27 Jan 2017 06:49:59 +0000 https://culturedvultures.com/?p=49420 A Hat Full of Sky book

You might remember from my ‘The Wee Free Men’ article that I was raving about Tiffany Aching, the Nac Mac Feegles and the magic of Discworld distilled for kids. ‘A Hat Full of Sky’ follows on pretty much directly from that first book, in some of the most coherent and clear cut plot continuity that the Discworld has produced so far. Tiffany is an official apprentice witch, travelling away from the Chalk and into the big, wide world; she is […]

Phew! We made it, guys – 2017 is here, finally, and it is not mindless optimism talking when I say that I hope everyone who suffered in 2016 suffers a great deal less in 2017, and that things pick up for all of us. As Sir Terry was so fond of reminding us, optimism and the sheer stubborn refusal to give up is often all we have. Ponder that, Discworld fans. So here we are, a new year and a […]

Hello, hello, hello. I’m back, I’m hanging onto my sanity by a thread until I finish work in a couple of days and this is going to be a nausea and paracetamol fuelled edition of Discworld Discussions! OK? Everybody happy? Good. Let’s go. ‘The Wee Free Men’ isn’t the first Discworld novel for younger readers; the deeply disturbing ‘Amazing Maurice‘ has that honour. ‘Wee Free’ is, however, the first Tiffany Aching novel, the first in an arc that would become […]

You’ll have to forgive me if I get too excited in this article. Quite aside from the fact that ‘Night Watch’ is the book I was most looking forwards to on this re-read, I finally got to it at a time when the subject of revolution and uprising couldn’t be more topical. As I’ve been following the baffling real life horror that is the American election and the protests that have come afterwards, so I have been following Sam Vimes […]

‘The Amazing Maurice’ is a Discworld novel that marks two important points in the series, one general and one personal to me. Generally, it is the first Discworld that was written for ‘younger readers’, and the only one of those that does not feature Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegles. Personally, this is the first in the Discworld series that I owned and read. I was nine and it was bought for me as a present, based on nothing […]
