( ) "Once More With Footnotes", compiled for the 2004 Worldcon where Terry Pratchett was Guest of Honor, is an eclectic collection - short stories, essays and introductions, including Pratchett's first published story ("The Hades Business"). There's a lot here of interest to Pratchett fans, but less so for the more casual reader; essays are nice enough but it's Pratchett's stories that have made him standout. There's a number of them here and they're generally quite good. It's actually slightly depressing seeing Pratchett's skill at 13 in "The Hades Business"; "Hollywood Chickens" and "Final Reward" are great little stories; "Theater of Cruelty" is probably the best of the Discworld stories. "Troll Bridge" and "The Sea and Little Fishes" are others, solid pieces. There's over a dozen short stories (some very short) all told. As for the essays and other ephemera, Pratchett does hit some of the same topics (fantasy and its place in literature) several times but there is some variance. They're a nice treat for Pratchett fans but not a big thing. Some of the stuff in here is likely to be hard to find, but since the book had a print run of only 2500 and is currently selling for several hundred used online or several thousand new, it's not likely to be any easier to get. If you're a Pratchett fan, I'd suggest finding a copy at a library or suchlike to read; otherwise you can probably pass this up compared to his other works. It looks like this has gone out of print. Which really sucks, as it's one of my favorite books by Pratchett. And that's saying a lot given the consistent quality of his work! Pratchett, with stories that are often just 100% the pure core of awesome and crazy which sits at the center of all his novels. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
