Watching the Watchmen: Sam Vimes and the Virtuous Pagan in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld

from Doxacast Remix · host Cindy Collins Smith

Rae Grabowski, Programming Co-Chair for Doxacon, joins host Cindy Collins Smith to discuss what makes Sam Vimes such an attractive character in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. While Pratchett satirizes and subverts the tropes of genres such as heroic fantasy, noir, and detective fiction, he also creates a protagonist whose growth in virtue over the course of eight novels transforms a corrupt City Watch into a force for good in his city and across the disc.
