Neil Gaiman taking questions after reading a chapter from Anansi Boys, on book tour in Berkeley, Sep 30, 2005. We learned: - Went to google before coming here (cf. Terry Pratchett, who did the same thing. Does google have some sort of literary booking agent?) Home-made "Neil #1" plaque from google for being the first hit for "Neil". - Interviewed by Michael Chabon yesterday. - He's started writing in pen. Because it's not as real as on the computer. Used to be that the computer was not real compared to a typewriter, but that's worn off. - Often starts book elsewhere, finishes them at home - Used to be a journalist. There's writer's block, but there's no journalist's block. (Again, like Pratchett.) - Why President Taft? (A detail from Anansi Boys.) Because all people remember about him that he's fat. Read pornographic biography of Taft in a roommate's copy of National Lampoon. - McKean made MirrorMask using animators fresh out of school and giving them more responsibility than they'd normally get. Didn't originally planned for it to be this big; but people at Sundance liked it. Go see it to make momentum. - As a teenager, wanted to be a science fiction writer, the next Larry Niven - No plans for Good Omens II. By now, he and Pratchett are so famous that big business interests would be involved. - Plan for Neverwhere sequel called "Seven Sisters". Sequels are okay, but prefers to do new things. - Anansi Boys started as a novella, but editor (Jennifer II) point out that it's a novel. |
