Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes: The Official Biography by Rob Wilkins

emotional funny inspiring reflective sad

4.5

Very much a biography of TP as a writer; some personal areas were respectfully left untouched. We hear little about family relationships for example, although one can read between the lines that they were not always easy. And the feverish writing had something compulsive about it, hinted at but never explored. Nevertheless, I came away, as did the author, with awe and gratitude for the creativity of this man who brought us so much pleasure, and a rare kind of wisdom, which need not wrap itself up in glum solemnity, but dares to dance with the improbability of existence. Clearly a labor of love by a talented writer himself — the tone is perfect, footnotes and all.
