The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction de Neil Gaiman

The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction

Autor Neil Gaiman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2017
“[Gaiman’s] nonfiction is as compelling as his fiction, comics and screenplays.” — Los Angeles Times
A fascinating collection of nonfiction pieces on myriad topics observed in award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman’s probing, amusing, and distinctive style.
Analytical yet playful, erudite yet accessible, these essays explore a broad range of interests and topics, including (but not limited to): authors past and present; music; storytelling; comics; bookshops; travel; fairy tales; America; inspiration; libraries; ghosts; and the touching title piece, which recounts the author’s experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood.
As Neil explains, “This book is not ‘the complete nonfiction of Neil Gaiman.’ It is, instead, a motley bunch of speeches and articles, introductions and essays. Some of them are serious and some of them are frivolous and some of them are earnest and some of them I wrote to try and make people listen.”
Illuminating and incisive, The View from the Cheap Seats explores some of the issues, subjects, and people that matter most to Neil Gaiman—and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of the most beloved and influential writers of our time.
“Conclusively proves that Gaiman is just as accomplished an essayist as he is an author of fiction…and comics.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Gaiman covers writing itself as superbly as anyone working in the craft today.” — Stephen Fry, author, comedian, and actor

Recenzii

“Gaiman’s prose reveals the relaxed intimacy of a cherished dinner partner and never loses sight of the big picture. . . . Highly recommended for readers of Gaiman’s work, specifically, and sf and fantasy generally, as well as those interested in cultural criticism and the art and craft of writing.” — Library Journal (starred review) on THE VIEW FROM THE CHEAP SEATS
“Full of devotion and erudition, this is also a glorious love-letter to reading, to writing, to dreaming, to an entire genre.” — Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO on THE VIEW FROM THE CHEAP SEATS
“If this book came to you during a despairing night, by dawn you would believe in ideas and hope and humans again. This is a beautiful, beautiful book.” — Caitlin Moran, journalist and New York Times bestselling author of How to Build a Girl

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.
