Snuff The Pig?

Sir Terry Pratchett's 39th Discworld novel - the 9th City Watch story - Snuff has been shortlisted for the 13th Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction (CLICK). This is Sir Terry's fourth nomination; he missed out thrice. Just to keep you bedazzled with statistics, Snuff is the third fastest selling novel in the UK since records began; it sold over 55,000 hardback copies in the first three days. As usual, the cover artwork is by Paul Kidby, who perfectly captures the madcap, tongue-in-cheek world of the Disc. Upon the winning book is bestowed the honour of having a Gloucestershire Old Spot pig named after it. Snuff the pig? The paperback comes out on 7 June.
