Neil Gaiman (Portchester, England, 1960) is one of the most important fantasy
writers of the current scene, with many prestigious awards (Hugo, Bram Stoker,
Nebula, and so on) endorsing him. Strongly influenced by Lewis Carroll’s work,
and especially by his Alice in Wonderland,
Gaiman has focused his career in fiction, although he might write something set
in the modern China in a near future. Gaiman is not only a novelist; he has
also developed original screenplays (MirrorMask),
and has even written two episodes of the legendary series Doctor Who. His first professional contact with cinema was back in
1997, when he translated Princess
Mononoke’s dialogues into English. His relationship with celluloid didn’t
finish there; two of his most famous books, Stardust
and Coraline, made it to the big
screen during the last decade. Now, other novels such as American Gods and The Book of
the Cemetery are about to be adapted too. Adria’s News drank a cup of tea
with Neil Gaiman when he came to Barcelona in May.
