Neil Gaiman BOOKS
Neil Gaiman
Town Hall

Today, Town Hall becomes a mecca for popular fiction: Downstairs, Eva Gabrielsson reads from her memoir about life with Millennium Trilogy author Stieg Larsson. Even crazier: Upstairs, Neil Gaiman celebrates the 10-year anniversary of what is arguably his best loved novel, American Gods. From his comics to his fiction to his recent Doctor Who episode, Gaiman has enchanted geek audiences for almost a quarter century now. He'll read and then talk with local fantasy author Maria Dahvana Headley about magic, writing about magic, and being magical. It doesn't get more splendidly nerdy than this. (Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave, 634-3400, 7 pm, $5) by Paul Constant

Every Neil Gamen story I've read so far is from the point of view of a female with mother issues. Doesn't he write about anything else?

Um... Then you haven't read very many Neil Gaiman stories.

That "Maria Dahvana Headley" person ruined the whole event. Her questions were puerile, sycophantic and overtly flirtatious. She talked more about herself and the dinner they shared the previous night than she did about Gaiman's work.

Thankfully, he was pretty brilliant. She, otoh, embarrassed herself.

^-- Co-sign. The first thing I heard as I stepped out of the building was someone making fun of Maria mooning over Neil. It's perhaps understandable, but did detract. I would love a more staid interviewer next time. :(
