Terry Pratchett par Rhianna Pratchett

Commenter

Dans un article du Guardian, Rhianna Pratchett parle de son père décédé l'an dernier, et auteur de la série Les annales du Disque-Monde. Elle revient sur le rappaort de son père à la mort, un sujet qu'il abordait avec moins de gène que le sexe selon elle, et sur son talent pour observer les gens, les décrire et s'en inspire dans ses écrits.

For me, as for many of his fans, it was his gift for characterisations like this that made his books pure narrative gold. Dad was a great observer of people. And when he ran out of actual people, he was a great imaginer of them. Both his grannies come through in his witch characters, while there’s a fair chunk of me in Tiffany Aching and Susan Sto Helit, Death’s adoptive granddaughter. He always said that he was most like the brusque Commander Vimes, raging against injustice. But he was a little like Death too; always loved a good curry and Pratchetts have cats like other people have bathrooms.
