description: An inquisitive observer thoughtful commentator and assiduous craftsman Neil Gaiman has long been celebrated for the sharp intellect and startling imagination that informs his bestselling fiction. Now The View from the Cheap Seats brings together for the first time ever more than sixty pieces of his outstanding nonfiction. Analytical yet playful erudite yet accessible this cornucopia explores a broad range of interests and topics including (but not limited to): authors past and present; music; storytelling; comics; bookshops; travel; fairy tales; America; inspiration; libraries; ghosts; and the title piece at turns touching and self-deprecating which recounts the authors experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood.
