A couple of weeks ago Neil Gaiman was in Melbourne promoting his new book Ocean at the end of the Lane. Im a lucky man and received tickets to attend as an anniversary gift (thanks honey). An evening with Neil Gaiman began with an interview, he read a chapter from the new book followed by a brief Q&A. Best of all, guests received a printed unedited draft of the first 2 chapters of Ocean at the End of the Lane.
I wasn't sure what to expect from the night. I've read most of Gaimans body of work and Im certainly a fan. Currently Im re-reading American Gods for the 5th or 6h time. The night was a real treat one I wont forget - Mr.Gaiman was well spoken, humble, funny and was genuinely excited to be there.
So this post I give you my rendition of Neil Gaiman (he really did have hair like a mop, dressed all in black and spoke in a very English accent, the good kind not the Posh or hard to understand kind).
Love this! Glad you had fun at it. Would have loved to have seen it. Might go read American Gods myself.
