Discworld Monthly - Issue 50: June 2001

1. Editorial

Welcome to issue 50. We had a welcome surprise recently when we were contacted by Chris Ewan, the editor of our predecessor Discworld Review. Chris has just come back online after a four year break and was pleased to see us still going.

It appears that Stephen Spielberg's Dreamworks company has brought the rights to the Bromeliad Trilogy, Truckers, Diggers and Wings the press release can be read in section 4.

WH Smith (who are currently selling 4 books for the price of 3 and have the Thief of Time for 8.50GBP) have set up a new page on their web site especially for Discworld Monthly readers. To get a full list of all the TP books they sell, visit: www.whsmith.co.uk/par/pratchett.asp

With regards to Graham Gregg's quote query in Discworld Monthly 49, the consensus seems to be that it's a quote by Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Finally, sad news for fans of comic fiction this month. Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, died suddenly aged 49. Adams' irreverent take on science fiction in many ways prefigured Terry's approach to fantasy.

2. News

DVDs: The Cosgrove Hall production of Wyrd Sisters was released on DVD last November by Vision Video (EAN 0440-0780272-4), and I gather that Soul Music will be released on DVD next August. Present intention is that it will contain the Pratchett interview that was so irritatingly placed at the beginning of each tape so one has to fast-forward on the first tape to get to the start of Soul Music and on the second tape to get to the rest of it.

Last month FunkiKat@aol.com said: ) One of the things that tickles me so much is how he had me racking ) my brains out to why he called GLOD in Soul Music such an odd ) name. He kept the joke until about three quarters through the ) book.

I thought Glod Glodson was the son, or other relation of, the famous Glod (or one of his may clones) of 'everything he touched turned to glod' fame. First mentioned in Witches Abroad. Following that incident I think Glod was not such an odd name for a dwarf.

In Carpe Jugulum, Nanny Ogg and Agnes try to flush out the vampires at the naming by using canapes filled with garlic. It just occurred to me that if it had worked, it would have been Buffet the vampire slayer! Do you think PTerry had this in mind when he wrote it, or is it just coincidence?

Hello, I love your newsletter and read it monthly. In issue 49 you have a letter from a Ingemar Olsson who uses the word Latatian and WB seems unsure of this word. On page 14 of the Discworld Companion-Updated Edition it says "And the Old Language (Latatian) of Ankh-Morpork has been rendered into Latin" Hopes that clears matters up.

While perusing the budget shelves of my local Game [Computer Shop] recently, I came across Discworld Noir, as a budget title - for 9.99GBP in one of those DVD-style cases, I assume sans manual. Quite a deal, especially for those who haven't been able to get it easily before. Definitely worth a look, folks.

Has anyone tried some of the recipes from Nanny Ogg's Cookbook? May I recommend that you do...

A friend of ours called Jeff invited my husband and I for dinner and Nanny's special nibbles with Special party dip - (Rather good!)then for the main, served Slumpie ( which was rather moreish!)and for dessert Chocolate Delight and special wow wow sauce. VERY VERY NICE.

Genuan spice mix - the extra of which I used on cheese on toast - to 'spice' it up a bit - and on chicken wings for the BBQ. VERY GOOD

In return we made Primal soup - you should have seen the look on their face when they found the tentacles... The main course was really given to me by an inhabitant of the last continent. XXXX chicken stew. (Chicken, can of french onion soup, can of peaches, can of XXXX)with Rincewind's potato cakes. Dessert was Unseen University's white chocolate cheesecake with sticky toffee rats on a stick.

Afterwards we played pickle Mr onion. I haven't spent a funnier Sunday in months. May I recommend it!

If you haven't tried any of the recipes - you should. All are very Yummie. Is there going to be a second edition of the cook book with more recipes? Anyone got any recipes to trade with me? How about a regular recipe column?

'Prithee' is a contraction of 'I pray thee'. The word 'pray' is not only religious, it can mean 'please' (oh, pray, tell me more), so 'prithee' is 'if it pleases thee', or 'excuse me'.

In Shakespeare, it can be translated as 'look out, there's a bad pun coming'.

In reply to the questions about the word 'nuncle', whilst studying Shakespeare at college, we were told that it is an abbreviation of the old English 'mine uncle' - a term of affection and respect from a younger man to an older man. I don't know how accurate this is but I hope it helps.

I am writing a reply to a comment made by Yasmin Mazur about Discworld Movies in the last newsletter of Discworld Monthly:

It's a good idea to wait and see how Good Omens looks in movie form before trying to get another book into production."

Mort has been opted to be made into a film for 10 years... and I think with the right people the book could be made into a great film... Terry writes his book so well and cleverly there isn't much needed to change into a film so it can't really be destroyed. Luck has nothing to do with it. The problem is Money. If the right amount of money is made then the effects could be brilliant, also where to film it... but this is the best book to be made into a film first. If it doesn't become successful... then he has lots of others. If this was a bad movie, a supporter should go and watch it anyway.

I always scan DWM, then go back to reread some, or read parts out loud to my husband. I agree that NO WAY would I want any of the Discworld books made into a movie. Good Omens, on the other hand, is one I'd love to see. Is this in the works? If so in what country? I don't want the States to miss out on this one. No movie could do the DW series justice. I also read the request for tours in the States. I read the list and saw that there are indeed some stops here, but even for this I won't travel to NY City. I am from Upstate NY. Many times only major cities draw the people we'd love to see. We also hear of the "better" book covers done in the UK. Unfortunately we don't get to see them. How could we order one or find such a list?

In response to Eugenia Andino ( eugenia_andino@hotmail.com ), I believe (although I'll have to check on this later) the bursar went mad in Moving Pictures, when the Things from the Dungeon Dimensions broke through. The specific event was when Ridcully, the Bursar, and someone else (possibly the Dean) flew through the air on Ridcully's broomstick, attacking one of the Things with a crossbow. However, I'm not sure if this is actually the case - I have a hard time distinguishing fantasy from reality, and this might have all been only another delusion of mine. Whatever the reason, Ridcully has certainly kept the Bursar on the rough shores of insanity with his, erm, _distinct_ personality (eg, shooting his crossbow across the hall into a target just above the Bursar's head).

I'm sure I read something around a year ago about a forthcoming illustrated Discworld novel, much in the original format of Eric, dealing with the first manned space flight around the Disc and involving Rincewind, Carrot and Leonard of Quirm. Have I missed this? Is it still in Terry's pipeline? Had I been eating strange mushrooms?

I've got a bit of a poser for you... I'm a BIG Terry fan from the US, and as such, I feel a bit lost and confused when people mention artwork from the covers of some of the books. As I'm sure everyone is aware of, the covers of the US versions are not NEARLY as interesting or artistic. Does anyone know where I could find an online archive of the real (read better) covers? There are quite a few people over here who would REALLY like to see them... Thanks in advance for any information...

Hola, guess I want general opinions on this so the letters page would be ideal. Me and a group of my mates had a "Disc" do, where we ate Discworld food, and dressed as the characters. I went as PTraci because my boyfriend's net name is Teppic, so it seemed natural for us to go as a pair. BUT he calls her Terak-i while I say Tracey, our mates all have split opinions including Tre-sea, Prac-i, Ptraa-cay and "What are you bickering about now?". Who's right on this one?

Discworld is a mirror of Roundworld - we all know that, even if it's one of those mirrors you get at the fair. When it comes to Unseen University, the accuracy of the reflection of Roundworld institutions is such that I don't know whether to laugh or cry... except in one case. Why is there no Lab Technician in the High Energy Magic Building? You've got lecturers, students, cleaners, cooks, a housekeeper, gardeners, even post-grads (I assume Ponder was one until he made Lecturer). In a place like that there has to be someone who knows how to find/move without breaking/fix any piece of equipment, who actually runs the place regardless of who's nominally in charge. He's also the only person who knows what Hex means by 'Redo+from+Start' though of course no-one will ever ask him. Potential for a great character there.

Thanks for the great work with DWM - always enjoy reading it.

I just recently got to meet Terry when he came to California. He was very gracious, and I managed to get him to sign numerous things. Not only did he personalize the books, but he left a small message relevant to the title on each. So here is a somewhat incomplete list (due to the fact that my collection is incomplete) of the different messages Terry left on the different books. (Of course each of these is preceded with "To" and then a name. My books happen to have my name there, which is a very fortunate set of circumstances indeed, don't you think?)

The Thief of Time: "Deja Fu!" The Truth: "And that's the Truth!" The Fifth Elephant: "Love and schmaltz" Carpe Jugulum: "Go for the throat!" The Last Continent: "No Worries"

Small Gods: This one had a picture of a turtle, upon the shell of which rested his signature. You probably wouldn't know that it was a turtle unless you were told, but still, the more I look at it, the more I like it. The Hogfather: "Ho Ho Ho" Soul Music: "Not Fade Away" (maybe somebody can help me on this one. I can't figure out whether he meant to write "do" before the rest of the quote, or if this is just a visual pun of sorts. It'd be helpful to know so that I'll know whether or not I should take this book with me the next time he's in town to ask him to write "do" or not. Jingo: "By Jingo!" Interesting Times: "Have an Interesting Time" Maskerade: "Unmasked!" Assassins' Guild Yearbook: "No arsenic!" Fools' Guild Yearbook: "Dico, dico, dico" The Discworld Map (on the map itself): "You are here" Good Omens: "Burn This Book" (From what I've heard, Neil Gaiman signs "We made the devil do it")

If anybody else can complete the list, or has any varying messages from the listed titles, say so. I'm curious.

I was pleased to see the list of U.S. bookstore appearances for PTerry in DWM #49, and am hoping to see him in Chicago. However, your listing left me a little uncertain of when to appear, or what to expect:

Monday, May 14, 2001 07:00 PM - 06:00 PM At: BORDERS #58 / Speaking, Q & A, signing 150 N. State St., Chicago, IL Tel: 312-606-0750

I'd be interested in seeing the promotional materials for this: "Meet the author, get 30% off his latest book, and as an extra special bonus, get ONE HOUR OF YOUR LIFE BACK!!!".

Thief of Time, indeed...

Re: The Name Vetinari.

Consider: Lord Vetinari is the cunning, ruthless ruler of a city. Where do we find cunning, ruthless rulers of cities in history?

Answer: in Renaissance Italy.

The princes of Florence were the Medicis, a byword for cunning, ruthless ruling. The play on words is between MEDICINE/MEDICI and VETINARIAN/VETINARI: physicians to people and animals respectively.

It seems pretty obvious to me. Have others spotted this at all?

Just to let you know that there was a 2-page interview with Terry in The Mail On Sunday's Night & Day Magazine (May 6th, 2001). Terry talks to Marianne MacDonald about his lack of recognition by the literary world despite being one of the "best-loved" living writers. He also says that he's never won a major fantasy award "because I'm funny".

He also comments on JK Rowling, his early days at writing when he was a schoolboy and about being Waterstone's most shop-lifted author...

If any subscriber of DWM would like to read the interview, I would be quite happy to send a photocopy.

Why doesn't anyone ever come to Alaska for book signings? I mean, sure there aren't that many people up here.

I've just read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, by the only author who seems to be outselling PTerry in this country. There are a couple of curious references in the book, just thrown in quite nonchalantly. To quote: 'Exactly who or what the Weird Sisters were Harry didn't know, never having had access to a wizard's wireless...' (p.341), and then, later... 'the gamekeeper before Hagrid, a man called Ogg' (p.536). Hmmm... innocent coincidences? Or is JK Rowling secretly a Pratchett fan and throwing in the odd reference as a tribute to the great man? Has anyone noticed any more of these?

JA replies: Whilst weird sisters is more Shakespeare than Pratchett I'm not so sure about Ogg.

4. Truckers Movie

DreamWorks has acquired the film and television rights to Terry Pratchett's best-selling fantasy novels Truckers, Diggers and Wings, known collectively as the Bromeliad trilogy, it was announced today by DreamWorks principal Jeffrey Katzenberg. Truckers will be the first to be turned into a computer animated feature, under the direction of Andrew Adamson, who co-directed DreamWorks' upcoming computer animated comedy, "Shrek." Adamson is again collaborating with the co-writer of "Shrek," Joe Stillman, with whom he is adapting the screenplay for "Truckers." The books follow the adventures of a group of nomes* living in a department store. When their home is demolished, the nomes venture into the outside world for the first time and discover their true, alien origins. In making the announcement, Katzenberg said, "There are few authors whose work lends itself to animation as well as Terry Pratchett's. His Bromeliad trilogy is a wonderful blend of fantasy, adventure and humor and I am honored to be able to bring all three books to the screen, beginning with Truckers. Andrew Adamson is the perfect choice to direct this project. He brought an extraordinary level of ingenuity and enthusiasm to the production of 'Shrek,' and I am thrilled to have an opportunity to work with both him and Joe Stillman again." Adamson added, "Terry Pratchett is an incredibly clever and imaginative writer, and I was drawn into the world of The Bromeliad. It's a story that lends itself extremely well to being a film, and I immediately wanted to be a part of its telling." Best-selling author Terry Pratchett has sold over 23 million books worldwide. His works have been translated into 27 languages and he was awarded an OBE for services to literature in 1998. HarperCollins in the US and Doubleday in the UK will publish the 26th novel in his phenomenally successful Discworld series, Thief of Time, on May 3rd. Commenting on why he chose DreamWorks to bring his novels to the big screen, Pratchett noted, "I liked 'Chicken Run' and 'Galaxy Quest,' and you've got to be impressed when a guy phones up from Hollywood one night and turns up for lunch in Wiltshire, England the very next day." DreamWorks SKG was formed in October 1994 by its three principal partners Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen to produce live-action motion pictures; animated feature films; network, syndicated and cable television programming; home video entertainment; records; books; toys; and consumer products.

*Note: Though nomes is traditionally spelled "gnomes," Pratchett
intentionally spells the word without the "g."
