Niniave Lake noted on AFNG today:
…Neil wrote a
story that is up at the Dream Haven neil gaiman site…
Neil’s poem, Nightfall, appears online as part of Scifi.com’s collection of essays and poems called Reflections on September 11, 2001. Thanks to Janni for the heads up.
Or to be more precise, genders, as you’ll read in this excellent essay by Neil on Powells.com
Books have sexes; or to be more precise, books have genders. They do in my head, anyway. Or at least, the ones that I write do. And these are genders that have something, but not everything, to do with the gender of the main character of the story.
When I wrote the ten volumes of Sandman, I tended to alternate between what I thought of as male storylines, such as the first story, collected under the title Preludes and Nocturnes, or the fourth book, Season of Mists; and more female stories, like Game of You, or Brief Lives.
There’s an excerpt from American Gods online at (strangely enough) AmericanGods.com
There’s a small piece on SciFi.com’s audio play of Snow, Glass, Apples in today’s USA Today (Life section, page 3D).
Near the bottom, Neil mentions his favourite fan site! C’mon, guess!
