Part of a series that examines the philosophical underpinnings and influence of popular culture figures and phenomena, this collection of fourteen articles on fiction writer Neil Gaiman explores philosophical and quasi-religious themes in this popular author's genre fantasy novels. Articles explores the explicit "god" characters of several of Gaiman's works, as well as issues relating to dreams, bargains and their consequences, death, and the development of identity in an increasingly banal world. Contributors are academics in English, literature studies, and philosophy from several American universities. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
