Terry in New Scientist

by Pat » Sun Apr 06, 2025 09:05 am
I've seen a few online references to a New Scientists article claiming that Terry's dementia is recognisable in his writing from a decade ago (in retrospect)
Does anyone know which issue it was? This article on the New Scientists web site is dated 12th March, which would be the issue 3534 - but no luck.

There's also a Facebook post from New Scientist on March 26th.

Interesting. I know that a lot of fans claim to have seen a degradation in Terry's writing AFTER his diagnosis. I cannot say that I did. It seemed to me that, unlike a lot of writers, Terry's work got better as he published more of his books.
