	Equal Rites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Equal Rites is a comic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett.
		The closest thing to mentions of the book that occur later in the series are in Lords and Ladies, when Granny mentions to Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully of Unseen University that she has been there a few times before and in Maskerade where she surprises Nanny Ogg by revealing that she has stayed at Rosie Palm's.
		The French translation continues the theme of the number 8 with the title La Huitième Fille (lit: The Eighth Daughter).

	Equal Rites
		The Equal Rites blurb insists that he "is to fantasy what Douglas Adams is to science fiction".
		Equal Rites is the third Discworld book, and spies inform me that at least two more are in preparation.
		Without being as continuously and unremittingly funny as the first two Discworld episodes, Equal Rites is a pleasant read which steers a wobbly but just successful course between anarchic breakdown (whereby the reader is reduced to waiting glumly for the next joke) and taking its plot too seriously.

		Equal Rites is not only fizzy and hilarious, but is also a wonderful story well told...

		Equal Rites is the third Discworld novel, and in it Pratchett begins to reveal just how diverse a place it is. The inept wizard Rincewind is not to be found in these pages, nor are Twoflower the Tourist and his Luggage.

		She knows she is at least the equal of her brothers, yet different, and she is teased for that; growing up as a loner, it is not surprising that she is attracted to the 'outsider' role of the witch.
		It is useful to consider the struggle that follows in the context of the feminist movement of the late 70s and 80s, when the battle was raging thickest over the issue of equal treatment in professions and office environments.
		It never occurs to the wizards that she has a right to be there on equal terms, but it would be equally unthinkable to exclude her altogether.

		Unfortunately, when dying wizard Drum Billet passes on his staff the eighth son of an eighth son turns out to be a daughter.
		'Equal Rites' is where Terry Pratchett starts to settle into his own style.
		In summary if you have only read the previous two novels and are wondering what all the fuss is about then read 'Equal Rites' or the next book, 'Mort' before giving up on Discworld novels.

		The curtain-raiser “Le Sacre du Printemps” (known in this country as “The Rite of Spring”) is of course a dramatic ballet and “Oedipus Rex” is a hybrid the composer styled an “opera-oratorio.”
		In the final seconds of the ballet, the Chosen Ones wind up at the bottom of a primeval rugby scrum; until then the corps engages in a half-hour frenzy of arm-waving, squat-thrusts and wind sprints.

		Whereas gay rights in terms of gay marriage is a movement for a special group of Americans,” said Rep. Artur Davis, Alabama Democrat.
		Ironically, as I suggested here about a year and a half ago, one of the reasons many people oppose gay rights is precisely because they see, or fear that that there will be, a parallel with the civil rights movement for fls.
		I have long suspected that many Americans oppose equal rights for gays because they have seen earlier demands for equal rights morph into demands for preferences.

		In that interview Terry said that one thing which had tickled him about Josh Kirby's artwork for the Equal Rites cover was that it subliminally (accidentally?) reflected the Freudian overtones of the book (references to "hot dreams", the angst of adolescence, things that might be called "magic" envy)...
		Kirby's artwork "coincidentally" draws Esk with the broom handle where a penis would be (traditionally supposed to be the basis of the "witches flying around on broomsticks" myth).
		The Necrotelicomnicom is another reference to the Phonebook of the Dead (see the annotation for the dedication of Equal Rites), but is also a pun on the evil book of the dead Necronomicon, used by H. Lovecraft in his Cthulhu stories.

		One of the things that make the Discworld books so enjoyable, is the characters are so likeable; and the two main characters in EQUAL RITES are definately quite likeable - Esk, the accidental Wizard child prodigy, and Granny the Witch.
