28: The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents


Listen Later

Squeakings and salutations, discettes and discinos! On this episode of DISC COVERERS, we're exploring Terry's first venture into young adult fiction: 2001's THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS. We're admittedly less familiar with the YA end of Discworld, so this book's nuanced themes and dark subject matter took us by total (positive!) surprise. What does it mean to be a true "person"? Are we ultimately defined by our base survival instincts, or our struggle to become something more? Most importantly, why aren't there more books about tiny-size animal societies living in a people-size world? I NEED more rat content, NOW!!!
