A Critical Companion to Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere", Paperback / softback Book

A Critical Companion to Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere" Paperback / softback

Part of the Palgrave Science Fiction and Fantasy: A New Canon series

Paperback / softback

Description

Fantasy author Neil Gaiman’s 1996 novel Neverwhere is not just a marvelous self-contained novel, but a terrifically useful text for introducing students to fantasy as a genre and issues of adaptation.

Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock’s briskly written A Critical Companion to Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere offers an introduction to the work; situates it in relation to the fantasy genre, with attention in particular to the Hero’s Journey, urban fantasy, word play, social critique, and contemporary fantasy trends; and explores it as a case study in transmedial adaptation.

The study ends with an interview with Neil Gaiman that addresses the novel and a bibliography of scholarly works on Gaiman.
