Neil Gaiman talks

By Emily Hulme

I just finished Gaiman's wonderful "The Graveyard Book" and I highly recommend it. In this recently posted clip from a talk given last spring at MIT, Gaiman discusses the cruelty in children's literature and defends the somewhat shocking opening of "GYB." "Kids don't mind it," he says.

There's more at the link above, and you can order a DVD of the whole discussion here.

BTW, we were discussing Gaiman in the office the other day, and we've decided that the look he is cultivating is very "Dr Who."

See it? Someone just needs to give this guy a TARDIS.
