A nice article on the CNN site on Neil Gaiman.

I still can't shake the feeling that he looks like Sirius Black to me.

Gosh. I've always thought - without any reference to descriptions in the books, just a gestalt feel - that Sirius Black looked like Jack Nicholson.

Aaaah! Yes! He is Sirius!

Have to admit, I'm usually skeptical of such claims, but when I clicked -- well, now I know how those Elijah Wood fans, the ones who said EW perfectly fit their mental image of Frodo, feel. ;-) It's indescribable, seeing a book character truly come to life.

Not to mention

that he dresses in black leather and rides a motorcycle.

Thanks for the link, Peg! I love Neil Gaiman (in fact I was just watching my Neverwhere DVD earlier).

BTW, (and this is way OT) I finally finished The Wild Swans, and I just wanted to tell you I found it to be a beautiful, haunting, and moving book. It is going to have a place on my shelf of favorite books.

Thanks for letting me know that you liked Swans. Music to a writer's ears!

Cheers,
Peg
