NY Times Bestselling Author Neil Gaiman Makes His First Playhouse Square Appearance
"An Evening with Neil Gaiman" comes to Playhouse Square's KeyBank State Theatre March 9 at 8 pm. One of the most celebrated, bestselling writers of our time, his popular and critically acclaimed works bend genres while reaching audiences of all ages
Gaiman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than 20 books. His bestselling contemporary fantasy novel, American Gods, took the Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker and Locus awards-as did his bestselling young adult story, Coraline. Another children's novel, The Graveyard Book, is the only work to win both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) Medals -awarded by librarians for the most prestigious contribution to children's literature.
In his live event, "An Evening with Neil Gaiman," he will tell-and-read stories, answer questions, and, in his own words, "amaze, befuddle and generally delight. It will be fun and odd and not like any other evening with Neil Gaiman."
Gaiman describes his varied art very simply... "I make things up and write them down." His groundbreaking Sandman comics, which has garnered a large number of accolades, including nine Eisner Awards, was described by Stephen King as "having turned graphic novels into art." Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as the greatest epic in the history of the form, an issue of Sandman was the first comic book to receive literary recognition...the World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story.
