Deconstructing Gaiman
Essays & literary criticisms of Neil Gaiman's work, edited by Darrell Schweitzer of Weird Tales. Neil Gaiman calls The Neil Gaiman Reader "Essays on things I've written, by a dozen different very smart people."
The Value of Literary Criticism
The questions are as often about the writer, or about ourselves, as they are about the story itself. In The Neil Gaiman Reader, writers explore the questions, the writer himself, and, ultimately, themselves.
