No words, should have sent a poet.
I love Neil Gaiman, the man was a visionary. I'm glad that he can sail on gently into the sunset selling $15.99 hardcover copies of Edward Gorey Burton-esque cabaret/goth delite for every generation (THE MAN HAS CHILDRENS' BOOKS!). If I had three good stories and a damn good voice that I could churn out books in, I think I'd be pretty happy. Hell, not everything written is art, if publishing your work is like printing money.
It's just sad to see when good writers get caught under the wheels of editorial. Instead of Gaiman telling a story he wanted to tell, we get a story that "needed" to be told in the editorial now and a final "product" that flounders in the face of history. Time will tell with R.I.P.
Dually aware of my article apery et regurgitation. Tuition dollars at work!
