Terry Pratchett on Fantasy

The late Sir Terry Pratchett on why fantasy isn’t a “ghettoized genre” (c. 1996): O: You’re quite a writer. You’ve a gift for language, you’re a deft hand at plotting, and your books seem to have an enormous amount of attention to detail put into them. You’re so good you could write anything. Why write fantasy? Pratchett: I had a decent lunch, and I’m feeling quite amiable. That’s why you’re still alive.

If it makes you go “Wait, what?" then it’s a good lyric. 15m50s: Beautiful. That’s poetry. Don’t make sense. Doesn’t have to. It mustn’t. It mustn’t.
