Sull'autore

Sull'autore di American Gods

Neil Richard Gaiman, autore bestseller di American Gods, è un'icona letteraria britannica celebrata per aver rimodellato il fantasy moderno e la narrazione cupa basata sul mito.

Nato nel 1960 nell'Hampshire, in Inghilterra, Gaiman è passato dal giornalismo a graphic novel rivoluzionarie come The Sandman, che ha ridefinito il mondo dei fumetti con i suoi temi maturi e ha vinto nove Eisner Awards.

American Gods—un'esplorazione che fonde i generi tra mitologia, fede e identità culturale—mostra la sua tipica fusione di archetipi antichi e narrazioni contemporanee. Le sue opere acclamate spaziano tra fantasy, horror e narrativa speculativa, includendo Coraline, Il figlio del cimitero (il primo libro a vincere sia la Newbery che la Carnegie Medal) e Buona Apocalisse a tutti!, scritto a quattro mani con Terry Pratchett.

Maestro della narrazione cross-mediale, i romanzi e le opere grafiche di Gaiman hanno ispirato adattamenti televisivi come American Gods (Starz) e The Sandman (Netflix). Tradotti in oltre 40 lingue, i suoi libri hanno venduto milioni di copie in tutto il mondo, consolidando il suo status di pilastro della narrativa d'immaginazione.
