| contents | It's Good to Be Gaiman: A Revealing Interview with Newbery Winner Neil Gaiman Sutton, Roger Childrens Literature Cartoons Foreign Countries Novels Social Networks Interviews Authors Neil Gaiman first gained wide notice as an author of comics, most notably "The Sandman" series (DC Comics), and confirmed his reputation as a major contemporary Anglo-American writer with the novels "Stardust" (1999), "American Gods" (2001), and "Anansi Boys" (2005, all William Morrow). But as Gaiman explains in this paper, "The Graveyard Book" was begun many years before those titles, not as a children's book, not as an adult book, but as simply a first page inspired by his son pedaling a tricycle through a cemetery near the family's then-home in England. In this interview, Gaiman talks about how he felt when he learned he won the 2009 Newbery Medal for his "The Graveyard Book." His winning was a peculiar case because for the first time, the Newbery went to a popular book by a "celebrity author". |
