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.
译文版又一次让中文读者领先于英文读者,抢先读到了盖曼叔的这本文艺格调翻番的新作。这回的翻译完成得相当漂亮。插画方面也不赖。美版的封面文艺又孤独,中译本的则更子供向一些,被装点成一个温暖的画片集。 内容上,这回盖曼叔走的是罗伯特·麦卡蒙《奇风岁月》那种缅怀童...

评分 评分有剧透有剧透有剧透有剧透有剧透有剧透 故事是简单的。展开是神奇的。缅怀是惆怅的。细思是略恐的。 一开始平常,主角回家参加一个葬礼,始终没提是谁的葬礼。 然后他回忆七岁那年发生的一件事。盖曼的惊悚常态出现。小猫被压死了...房客自杀了...邻居不寻常-----都用平常...
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...
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、绝望,以及细微的快乐和坚定,而这一切又都被无法言明的温柔包裹在其中。他的故事本身就是海洋。Thank God we have Neil Gaiman, his soft soft heart and grief feelings.
评分今年的Xmas gift!超惊喜。一拿到就忍不住翻了起来,一口气翻了几十页觉得这样下去这么厚一本应该很快读完了又不舍,于是强令自己减慢速度。。。--果然一个晚上读完,是248页啦不是190页。世界观设定果然又宏大了起来,可是感觉很多东西都没讲清楚。NG 有了自己的模板了,看到中间一直忍不住想到卡罗琳的故事。以及他果然是个永远长不大的,玻璃心的7岁小男孩。
评分第一次在overdrive上面借audiobook。三星半。四天听完开头结尾就还了,看了看本书wiki,发现剧情笔记冗长黑暗,庆幸自己的安排。作者很用心,能感觉真诚、intimate,但是男主太过被动懦弱,没有成长线也没有感情线…
评分开头和中段好过结尾。A page-turner.
评分虽以七岁孩子视角来写,不适合孩童。黑暗无幽默。惊悚瑰丽一如往常。
