Okay, I managed to skirt the issue.
But I was wondering if any helpful Pratchett-lovers might have a copy of
The Last Continent to hand? I wanted to use his description of aboriginal dot-painting to back up a point I was making about poetry which sketches the subject from all perspectives, but never exactly gives a clear image of the thing itself.
I think it may be on page sixty, and it begins with
"It looked as though the artist hadn’t just wanted to draw a kangaroo from the outside but had wanted to show the inside as well." I'm sure there was something about what it had looked like last Tuesday, and what it had had for lunch, but the only time I can find it quoted on the whole of the internets, it's this short version.
Please help!
I'm not fulfilling my quota of using Pratchett in 50% of all unconnected essays properly this semester!
