I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
This is my smallest book, it's my most personal book. But just because it's small, don't let that fool you. There is weirdness and fantasy, there is magic and fear, there is childhood and an awful lot more wrapped up in a tiny package, just in the way that ...
评分 评分这是最新一期的译文版的主打长篇。 译文版在长达半年的时间里一直都被我放在洗手间的柜子里,每次如厕的时候拿出来看,看几页放下也不觉得可惜,一个月的时间看完一本然后再看新的,故事也越来越沉闷。直到遇到《车道尽头的海洋》。 盖曼大叔的作品陆陆续续读过一些,但没那一...
评分奇幻大师尼尔盖曼的《车道尽头的海洋》讲的是一个7岁的小男孩的故事。他的童年生活并不幸福。幸亏认识了住在车道尽头那家的女孩莱蒂,才给童年带来一丝亮色。她家后院里有一个小小的水塘,可是莱蒂却坚持说这是一个海洋。莱蒂带他进入到一个奇幻世界历险,却无意中把妖怪带回现...
评分读的时候不停怀疑“他是不是发挥失常了”“这次写得太平常了”;可当我读完整本合上书那之后的整整一天,都还沉浸在故事的气氛和情绪里无法自拔。不得不说这次的老梗用得非常常规流式化,但是盖曼的本事就是这样的:在最通俗最常见的桥段里细细浸满了悲伤、哀恸、希望、...
#很多情节穿越去了DW.......
评分这次盖曼叔走的是《奇风岁月》那种缅怀童年的路子,又是一次作者自己“私人化”的文本呈现。思来想去,与这本书比较贴近的旧作大概是《坟场之书》,几乎没有典故埋藏在故事里、奇幻部分的加入又成了一种超现实的隐喻。好比《失物之书》里用臆想来装点残酷的战争,真实童年里的灰色记忆则寄托于坏保姆、矿工幽灵、三代魔女、车道尽头的海洋(bigger on the inside)等意象。美版的封面文艺又孤独,中译本被装点成一个温暖的画片集。西方读者清一色的好评,我只是觉得,情怀足矣、却少了一点活泼一份俏皮。一场朦胧又沉重的童梦。
评分开头和中段好过结尾。A page-turner.
评分太温柔的一本小书。尼尔盖曼怎么能记得那么多的事情。童年那么多恐惧,不应该随着年纪被一把又一把时间的土埋得严严实实吗。
评分翻13年SFF书单找书看才发现盖曼又出了本新书。书还是可以的,但说实话对盖曼自己而言有点炒冷饭之嫌。从主题到故事情节都有点反刍的感觉。。。希望接下来能有所突破啊。实在不行再跟TP合作一本吧!三点五颗星
