Photograph: Richard Saker/The Guardian ‘Your reward for doing something good is to do something else good’ … Terry Pratchett. He left it a bit late, of course, and he would think about that ruefully near the end, when time was running out and we were losing him at 100mph.

Pratchett himself had toyed with writing an autobiography for years, and when his diagnosis came in, he started work on one with Wilkins.

It expands on everything we already knew about the man and will inevitably provide small surprises, new framings, and will absolutely enhance your future Discworld experiences. After I finished this book all I wanted to do was disappear into his work and into the worlds Pratchett left behind for us. There were, inevitably, grim and testing times in those years, and I spent a lot of that period in denial about the full gravity of what was unfolding. Monday, 24th January , 2022 A LIFE WITH FOOTNOTES – ANNOUNCING THE OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY OF TERRY PRATCHETT Transworld Publishers are thrilled to announce the publication of Terry Pratchett: A Life with Footnotes, the official biography of Sir Terry Pratchett, written by Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the author’s literary estate.

I feel blessed to have come into The Colour of Magic the same year it was released in paperback, at age 10. A la meva selecció personal destaca la relació d’en Pratchett amb el món de les convencions i el fandom, tant com a adolescent i jove adult que encara no havia publicat com, més endavant, com a autor fulgurant amb un volum creixent d’admiradors. Ultimately, Terry Pratchett: A Life with Footnotes* is the story of a person fighting constantly against where society wanted to put him.

Transworld managing director Larry Finlay says: ‘ A Life with Footnotes captures the genius that was Terry Pratchett, with warmth, poignancy, and great good humour – and with no small amount of love.
