An enthralling collection of nonfiction pieces on myriad topics--from art and artists to dreams, myths, and memories to comics, films, and literature--observed in award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman's probing, amusing, and distinctive style.

As Neil explains, "This book is not 'the complete nonfiction of Neil Gaiman.' It is, instead, a motley bunch of speeches and articles, introductions and essays. Some of them are serious and some of them are frivolous and some of them are earnest and some of them I wrote to try and make people listen."
