By using a combination of the fairly recent sub-discipline within narratology, unnatural narrative theory, and Genette’s question of “who speaks?”, this study analyses the narrators and the different kinds of unnatural spaces in which they speak. This paper compares the unnatural aspects of Gulliver’s Travels and select City Watch instalments of Discworld. The narratives foreground the fantastic, written to entertain and amuse its readers but also contain societal criticism in the form of satire or parody. Making Money is the second book in the Moist von Lipwig series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels set in Ankh-Morpork are similar enough that both can be treated as belonging to the subgenre of comic fantasy. 'As bright and shiny as a newly minted coin clever, engaging and laugh-out-loud funny' The Times Because money is power and certain stakeholders will do anything to keep a firm grip on both. Moist begins making some ambitious changes. Moist has many problems to solve as part of his new role: the chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire, the chairman needs his daily walkies, there's something strange happening in the cellar, and the Royal Mint is running at a loss. He doesn't really want the job, but the thing is, he doesn't have a choice. If anyone can rescue the city's ailing financial institution, it's him. Cue Moist von Lipwig, Postmaster General and former con artist. The Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork is facing a crisis and needs a shake-up in management. 'Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one.'
