GNU Terry Pratchett

Jambalaya form is the best description for anyone who as ever written anything. Ever.

Same thing happened with Foucault iirc but they published the transcripts of his lessons anyway

Well... part of me is very happy that his wish was respected... but a small part will always be a bit sad that I will never get to read a new discworld Novell ever again.

I was hoping they were papers and they just laid them out fairly thin. Then ypu could just pick them up and put them back together. Just on a technicality.

It just seems like a stupid thing to care about and stupid wish to make.

I wouldn't say the last one is most importantly. They're just kids playing a game, I wouldn't argue it's meant to be an allusion to power dynamics. But everything else I greatly appreciate from this book. Adolescence is where gender roles begin to take root, and if taught improperly, they can limit the scope for what children feel is acceptable for their respective roles in society. ❤

Wow, he had ten unfinished novels! Maybe we can find them in the Sandman's library....

Meanwhile, every time they find a napkin Kurt Vonnegut scribbled a few words on, it comes out as a new collection.

George R R Martin: "They will truely never get The Winds of Winter."

I know this seems tragic, but... the man probably knew they were stinkers that couldn't be salvaged, and wanted to be sure noone could try.

He probably made that order before he died.

He should have written them on an email to himself. Then all anyone would have to do is request a replacement password to unlock the account, which would of course be sent to his email address and effectively lock the account forever. Gmail - I'm looking at you, you morons.

On one hand, even incomplete works can be considered art. On the other, respecting someone's last wish is important. As a creative myself, I'm torn...

I love my entire race being depicted as rats.

The be fair, they could have published his last books after the steamroller failed. I mean, unlike the other cases, they at least tried as specified.

in my country (hungary) one of our famous poets' fucking THERAPY JOURNAL was published. i'm not reading that shit because i can't say off the top of my head whether he specifically requested it be kept secret but like... i'm pretty sure he didn't want people reading that😭

So he didn't want the world to see his work unless he was getting paid for it... money that he couldn't spend because he was dead? The definition of selfish right there 😂

The only way it would be justifiable to publish these works would have been if they were presented more-or-less unedited, not as a novel, but as an academic look into the thoughts of Terry Pratchett and his writing process

The problem with respecting a dying wish is the extent to which said person can still make informed decisions. If your dying wish is for someone to start a nuke war do you do it just because?Of course not.(I think) Dying implies mental decline often severe. Not always. If you take our 'you gotta be fully capable of making informed decisions' to its logical extreme then most dying individuals are unable to do that anymore. Heck the fact that they're dying can influence their decision. At the end of the day the state will decide. Mind you a decision not to decide on behalf of others is still a decision. But again if you push fully informed to its logical extreme then 90% of dying individuals are unable to make informed decisions anymore. If you push it to its logical extreme.

Finally a loyal assistant 😂❤

I absolutely love House Of Leaves and fictional horror ❤😂

Horcrux

GNU Terry Pratchett

Nah man wait till you see 108 me getting to ready this whole thing (with hopefully one of my books in there once I start publishing)

Much as I'd be interested to read those stories, I am glad his wishes were respected. Kudos to the assistant for the dedication to following through, as well.

Good! Glad to know there are loyal writing assistants who won't sell out their authors.

These are all so crazy! :O

Sir Terry was a unique case; he raised his family to be good people, and was a shining example of what a real hero is. To not honour his last wishes would have been more than just a betrayal, it would be to mock his very way of life.

"you'll be long gone by then! 💝" yeah no need to remind me

His family and friends did collaboratively finish the last chapter of the final Tiffany Aching book, so I guess that was the exception. It's the only book I never reread, because you can feel the point at which he didappears and it just becomes the best others could do with his notes. It's not the same without him, so I always stop before that book.

I was honestly worried that you were going to follow up with: “the steamroller didn’t destroy the hard drive so…we’re going to publish these bad boys!” One of those kinds of loopholes

Maybe not. I could potentially live to 104.

Genuinely sad that authors want people to do this, like why wouldn't you want your work to carry on?

if george rr martin were to do this, obviously its his decision and id respect it, but itd be so sad to lose the projects hes worked on

Insane book, I've just started it but I love all of the books of that style.

my english teacher in 8th grade made us read it! i had no idea it won the pulitzer award

The funniest book of the decade

Not a criticism of your video, but UA-cam is getting ridiculous with the ads. I watched this for one minute before being interrupted by a political ad. I got so frustrated I didn't watch the rest. Sorry.

All girls want is the D…D of course being Dead Rising 2 on Xbox 360

Sadly nobody respects the author in general. Not their wishes, not their intentions and certainly not the intended meaning of their work. The amount of people who don't care to hear about an author's full life, experience and beliefs, just so they can indulge in headcanon or chase clout through deciding an author is "problematic" through fixating on out of context aspects of their lives.. honestly, we don't deserve such great minds being wasted on such vapidly insincere people.

Being and Time by Heidegger got me at page 1

A German critic once praised a German translation of Finnegan's Wake, saying the translator had done the utmost right thing by translating it from Non-English into Non-German.

Man, it's great when people respect and listen to each other.

I love Maus, but it’s not about a “young mouse” it’s about Art Spiegelman, and his actual father’s story of the holocaust. I think the reason the story stuck with me is because it’s not just about the holocaust (although that is a huge part of it) it’s about Art Spiegelman’s relationship with his father, and his Jewish identity, and the worries he had about even writing the book. It’s a deeply personal work, and I love it for that.

Long gone? I could reach 108 increasingly better healthcare

I'm sorry I understand the sentiment but I've always had to give it to cujo when it comes to the single most depressing and dark King novel

I have a copy of Griffith & Sabine! Wonderful book! ❤❤❤

One of my academics did a retake on this but about students who think their difficulties are universal. I’m not allowed to post it, but most of us can only laugh at other people, not ourselves.

thank goodness for that. Not that I dont like Pratchett. He is one of my favorite authors. Glad his wishes were taken into consideration.
