Summary
Terry Pratchett: Mistake on the keyboard
With the popular series about Discworld, Terry Pratchett won the hearts of readers around the world - yet, towards the end of his life, as a man without a hair on his tongue, he gained great reputation and respect and as a fighter for animal rights and the study of Alzheimer's disease. "Keyboard Error" collects the best examples of Pratchett's non-fiction writings, both serious and surreal: from musings about mushrooms, to questions about what it means to be a writer (and why a banana daiquiri is so important), memories of Grandma Pratchett and speculation about Gandalf's sex life, to passionate advocacy of the causes he cares about. With plenty of humor and humanity, which make his novels so timeless and beloved, in this collection Pratchett steps out from behind the scenes of Discworld and speaks personally: as a man and a boy, a bibliophile and a passionate computer geek, a lover of hats and a defender of orangutans and dignified death.
