In this episode of our Discworld Deep Dive podcast, Varsha, Susana and I explore Eric (also known as Faust Eric), one of Terry Pratchett’s most unique and shortest Discworld novels. We unpack its clever parody of the Faust legend, the return of the hapless wizard Rincewind, and Pratchett’s sharp wit as he takes us across the Disc from hellish bargains to epic (and hilarious) misadventures.
📚 What we cover in this episode:
How Eric fits into the Rincewind series of Discworld.
Parody, satire, and Pratchett’s take on Faust.
Key themes: temptation, bureaucracy, and the absurdity of power.
Why Eric is one of the shortest but most memorable Discworld novels.
Our favorite jokes, moments, and character insights.
Whether you’re a longtime Discworld fan or new to Pratchett’s magical world, join us for this in-depth conversation that celebrates one of the funniest entries in the series.
