Celia Imrie reading Equal Rites and Wyrd Sisters, and me chirpy as anything bc I love Celia Imrie
But apparently
😢
#truly whenever someone doesn’t *get* pratchett im not even offended im just sad for them#like wyrd sisters in particular is genius for how it alludes to baudrillard's simulacra model#on a meta level giving some of the most insightful and brilliant observations on the nature of reality to granny weatherwax is genius#bc they slip by as just 'old wives tale'#there's also a kind of performativity element which pratchett used in mort too l#like it's impossible to be that level of silly without a very very clever foundation#the thing i respect most about pratchett as a writer is that he wasnt afraid to be underestimated#he wasn't afraid for his fiction to appear juvenile and pulpy#if he took himself more seriously he would never have had the success he did#bookblr#discworld#terry pratchett#gnu terry pratchett
