CITY READS announced on World Book Night that SIR TERRY PRATCHETT and his Discworld classic GUARDS! GUARDS! has been chosen for this year’s City Reads. When asked how it feels to have his book chosen to be read by the people of Brighton, Terry replied:
‘I think the term flabbergasted would be apposite. If I recall I said upon hearing the news: ‘what, all of them? Do they know how I write? Oh well! I didn’t force them…’’
Sir Terry Pratchett, City Reads author 2013
‘We are so excited that Sir Terry (one of the most iconic writers of our time) has agreed to be part of this year’s City Reads which I think will bring a whole new audience to his work. Brighton has always had the reputation of being a bit bohemian and we think he’ll fit right in! We’re looking forward to welcoming him to our city later in the year.’
Sarah Hutchings, Artistic Director of City Reads
