Beloved author Neil Gaiman has earned an avid following the world over. Celebrated for his iconic works such as “American Gods,” “Good Omens,” and the beloved “Sandman” series, Gaiman joined us at the Gould Standard for a candid conversation, opening the door to his imaginative world, ranging from novels and short stories, comics and graphic novels, children’s books and non-fiction, and numerous adaptations for film and television.. From sharing personal family anecdotes and early childhood influences to exploring his deep connections with mythology and folklore, Gaiman sheds light on the magic that makes his tales and storytelling so mesmerizing. “It’s not sad bits that make you cry. It’s the bits where you just sort of feel things that are too big to quite fit in your chest, so they come out through your eyes.”
