'Literature does not occur in a vacuum. 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.
'If this book came to you during a despairing night, by dawn, you would believe in ideas and hope and humans again' Caitlin Moran
