Didn't make it that far, not a fan of detailed rape descriptions

Not really up on his "kid" stuff, I could be completely wrong

He did have a Sandman story where a a writer who claimed to be a male feminist is raping a muse to be a good writer. Even the first time I read that years ago seemed a little on the nose, but I thought Gaiman was just making fun of himself in a dark way, and yeah I guess I wasn't wrong.

I mean...yeah it seems like he hated pretty much everyone roughly equally, except the English. Idk how a person can hate the Saxons but like the Anglo Saxons.

Yeah he was racist, but also a New England resident in like 1910 who married a Jewish woman.

You really should. Sandman and American Gods are incredible, and he also occasionally dipped into trashy comic fare, also enjoyable. He's one trait I guess comes from the comics he used to do, his best stories are all with other people's characters. I don't think he's ever used a original character, they're all like mythological tropes. Even supposedly original protagonists turn out to be Balder or some shit.

yeah some of those authors...Like Heinlein's later novels, what was with the fucking incest?
