Quiet, you petahQ

I only have casual, tourist-y klingon. Can order pipius claw off menu, think I appreciate the house bloodwine but I don't, inisist on growling my ghs to pronounce it correctly, etc.

Yeah, sadly asked and answered there, I think.

So, I am normally loathe to be negative here, but

1) Neverwhere came out in 1996; and
2) I'm not saying I don't own books by him, or even that I did not love them, but you might want to check in on his current status before giving Neil Gaiman an unqualified recommendation.

"Uppy's always asking what you've got in there, Fibber! Some of that stuff has to go back to the dawn of civilisation!"
"She likes to Babylon Molly, but tell her it's Nineveh business."

In every relationship, there's the one making the observation and the one rolling the clips--but who is which changes.

Also, I worry "also happens" feels condemnatory there, it's not, it's a proper capital-F fantasy book. Wizards, goblins, giant monsters. It's not ashamed of, not arch about, any of those things, it just grounds them seriously in emotion and experience.

Did the thing I really like when fantasy novels do, which is to confine the scope of the action to an intimate experience and then let implication and reader imagination fill in much much more.

I very much doubt I'll personally get it to the table any time soon. But that's the best reason to put it out into the world!

GUESS WHO LIKES YOU?!

Goddamn, Joey
