Here's the long and short of it: Neil Gaiman has many thought-provoking things to say on a wide variety of topics. He has met many interesting people. He has read a great number of books which he wishes you would read, too. So most of View from the Cheap Seats is very absorbing. But eventually, the book gets a little repetitive in its content and the rhythms become predictable. So I would advise taking it in short bursts, instead of reading it all at one go, as I did.

"An enthralling collection of nonfiction essays on a myriad of topics--from art and artists to dreams, myths, and memories--observed in #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman's probing, amusing, and distinctive style. An inquisitive observer, thoughtful commentator, and assiduous craftsman, Neil Gaiman has long been celebrated for the sharp intellect and startling imagination that informs his bestselling fiction. Now, The View from the Cheap Seats brings together for the first time ever more than sixty pieces of his outstanding nonfiction. Analytical yet playful, erudite yet accessible, this cornucopia explores 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 title piece, at turns touching and self-deprecating, which recounts the author's experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood. Insightful, incisive, witty, and wise, The View from the Cheap Seats explores the issues and subjects that matter most to Neil Gaiman--offering a glimpse into the head and heart of one of the most acclaimed, beloved, and influential artists of our time"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

My first ever Neil Gaiman book, and I'm ecstatic I began with this gem. It beautifully echoes themes found throughout his other works. ( )
