Neil Gaiman interview – L.A. Times
Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors. I read American Gods in grad school, at a time when all I really wanted to read was manga and young adult books, so I approached it with a sort of ‘meh this is pretentious’ feeling. Then came Neverwhere, Anansi Boys and my favorite, Coraline. His latest, Graveyard Book, is waiting on my shelf. But you can’t really talk about Gaiman without mentioning Sandman. This weird twisted series has kept me up at night. Not because I’m afraid but because Gaiman’s dreams are so much better than my own.
Here he discusses his career, the movies and what he hopes for the future. I’m looking forward to the Coraline movie, especially because the graphic novel was a disappointment.

Sandman changed the comic book industry forever, much the same way S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders transformed young adult literature. I’ve been wanting to tackle Gaiman’s novels as well.
So Sadie, which Gaiman novel would you recommend that I pick up to begin this journey?
