The View From the Cheap Seats, Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman’s non-fiction is as accomplished and fascinating as his stories and graphic novels and here is a collection of the best speeches (commencement and otherwise), essays and forwards he has written to date. 

Every piece contains Gaiman’s unique view of the world from his days as a journalist interviewing an unknown Terry Pratchett to the ‘door falls off a plane incident’ whilst travelling with Diana Wynn Jones and why you should never ever give your ten year old daughter a Stephen King novel. Gaiman’s voice echoes in your head as you read, making each piece of advice, each story, each warning seem very personal.
