Neil Gaiman's 'Neverwhere,' 20 Years in the Making
Neil Gaiman's work crosses genres and media, and reaches audiences of all ages. He is listed in the Dictionary of Literary Biography as one of the top ten living post-modern writers, is credited with being one of the creators of modern comics, and his novels have been adapted for screens both large (Coraline) and small (the recently announced American Gods series for Starz). This month, he'll release the author's preferred text edition of his acclaimed fantasy novel, Neverwhere... and it's also The Leonard Lopate Show Book Club's next pick! In Neverwhere, Richard Mayhew is an unassuming young businessman living in London, until one night he stumbles across a girl bleeding on the sidewalk. He stops to help her--and the life he knows vanishes like smoke.
