Book 33: Going Postal

"A lot's going on there" - PJMoist von Lipwig is charged with resurrecting Ankh-Morpork's Post Office: a task that brings him into conflict with powerful men, the clacks, and his own a/morality. Belfast writers and UU students PJ Hart and Andy Luke gather at the depot to discuss Moist's motivations and mise-en-scene, Vetinari's tactics, the negative power of storytelling, the expanding Discworld, biting the horizon, old people getting married, enshittification, secret orders, and late stage capitalism.
