He doesn't merely state that Pratchett isn't a "literary genius", he goes much farther than this. "Mediocre", "I would have to live a million years before getting round to him" and "trash."

I don't know if Pratchett will be remembered and studied in the distant future. But he will be remembered far longer than this person. He wouldn't know depth it it bit him. But he sure knows how to see the Emperor's New Clothes.
