Highly recommended for readers of Gaiman's work, specifically, and sf and fantasy generally, as well as those interested in cultural criticism and the art and craft of writing." - Library Journal (starred review) on THE VIEW FROM THE CHEAP SEATS

"Full of devotion and erudition, this is also a glorious love-letter to reading, to writing, to dreaming, to an entire genre." - Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO on THE VIEW FROM THE CHEAP SEATS

"If this book came to you during a despairing night, by dawn you would believe in ideas and hope and humans again. This is a beautiful, beautiful book." - Caitlin Moran, journalist and New York Times bestselling author of How to Build a Girl
