Neil Gaiman - The View From The Cheap Seats

Beautifully crafted book.

Non-fics aren’t normally my thing but this book eloquently merges Neil’s influences with past experiences/speeches and concludes with his own commentary on social trends and issues at large. It flows wonderfully. A brilliant read! ✨

9/10

“Literature does not occur in a vacuum. It cannot be a monologue. It has to be a conversation, and new people, new readers, need to be brought into the conversation too.” - Neil Gaiman, Why Our Future Depends on Libraries, Reading and Daydreaming (from The View from the Cheap Seats) #books #reading #neilgaiman #neilgaimanbooks #theviewfromthecheapseats #nonfiction #reading #literature #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLHLStr9BZ/?igshid=zmt39jlnglmo

From the view from the cheap seats It's not something that I recently learnt. On the contrary, I believe that it is something that makes who I am this very day. From everything that happened, I believe, I brought them all by myself, and I bore all the results. But I chose to do so. I chose to do those things. And I chose to be in full control over myself. Things that I did in the past and things that I do until today are all the good arts of my life. So, started your life again and again and again on purpose? Make good effing art. #neilgaiman #theviewfromthecheapseats https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vkkP-JWar/?igshid=17qshv7oul8bi

“And remember that whatever discipline you are in, whether you are a musician or a photographer, a fine artist or a cartoonist, a writer, a dancer, a designer, whatever you do you have one thing that’s unique. You have the ability to make art.” #amreading #neilgaiman #theviewfromthecheapseats #nonfiction #makegoodart #books #bookstagram #reading #bookworm #booklovers #bookish #art

“We all have stories. Or perhaps it's because, as humans, we are already an assemblage of stories and the gulf that exists between us as people is that when we look at each other we might see faces, skin color, gender, race, or attitudes. But we don't see - we can't see the stories. And once we hear each other's stories, we realize the things we see as dividing us are all too often illusions; falsehoods. That the walls between us are, in truth, no thicker than scenery.” #neilgaiman #theviewfromthecheapseats
