Fairy Tales for Grown ups

Only posting a link! I have talked with my Jesuit Confessor, father Casuisto Sophistin von Harisplitter, and he tells me it does not count as a post:

Neal Gaiman is talking about STARDUST

“What’s it for?” he had asked, which is not a question you expect to be asked when you write fiction for a living.

“It’s a fairytale,” I told him. “It’s like an ice cream. It’s to make you feel happy when you finish it.”

Discuss.
