'Gaiman is god in the universe of story' Stephen Fry

'A perfect antidote to cynicism and a paean to the power of reading' Observer

---

'Literature does not occur in a vacuum. It cannot be a monologue. It has to be a conversation'

This collection will draw you in to exchanges on making good art and Syrian refugees, the power of a single word and playing the kazoo with Stephen King, writing about books, comics and the imagination of friends, being sad at the Oscars and telling lies for a living.

Here Neil Gaiman opens our minds to the people he admires and the things he believes might just mean something - and welcomes us to the conversation too.

'If this book came to you during a despairing night, by dawn, you would believe in ideas and hope and humans again' Caitlin Moran

MEDIA REVIEWS

If this book came to you during a despairing night, by dawn, you would believe in ideas and hope and humans again

Gaiman is god in the universe of story and for millions this will be a holy book

Like a series of thoughts for the day, it's a perfect antidote to cynicism and a paean to the power of reading - Observer

Neil Gaiman shows that while we might come to his writing for gods and monsters, actually all human life is here - Independent

Read every single word. Some of this stuff you won't care about at all - until Gaiman explains to you why it matters. Then, you will care. You will care deeply. You might even care forever

[Gaiman] is 100% pure writer. He has the ability to stimulate your thought process by expertly communicating his own

Part archive, part hymnal, full of devotion and erudition, this is also a glorious love letter to reading, to writing, to dreaming, to an entire genre

An intimate, erudite and illuminating conversation with one of the great minds of fantasy

Proves the former journalist has lost none of his touch for astute observations - Metro

[Gaiman] is charming, enthusiastic, full of wonder - Guardian
