Perhaps best known as the writer of the Harvey, Eisner, and World Fantasy-award-winning DC\/Vertigo series, \u003cem\u003eThe Sandman\u003c\/em\u003e, Gaiman quickly became equally renowned in literary circles for works such as \u003cem\u003eNeverwhere\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCoraline\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAmerican Gods\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as the Newbery and Carnegie Medal-winning \u003cem\u003eThe Graveyard Book\u003c\/em\u003e. For adults, for children, for the comics reader to the viewer of the BBC's \u003cem\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/em\u003e, Gaiman's writing has crossed the borders of virtually all media and every language, making him a celebrity on a worldwide scale.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The interviews presented here span the length of his career, beginning with his first formal interview by the BBC at the age of seven and ending with a new, unpublished interview held in 2017. They cover topics as wide and varied as a young Gaiman's thoughts on Scientology and managing anger, learning the comics trade from Alan Moore, and being on the clock virtually 24\/7.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What emerges is a complicated picture of a man who seems fully assembled from the start of his career, but only came to feel comfortable in his own skin and voice far later in life. The man who brought Morpheus from the folds of his imagination into the world shares his dreams and aspirations from different points in his life, including informing readers where he plans to take them next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Michael Sommers \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of English at Central Michigan University, where he teaches courses on comics, children's literature, and popular culture.
