Graveyard Book author Neil Gaiman on Colbert Report

Categories: Notable MN

Neil Gaiman, author of the Newbery Medal-winning "The Graveyard Book", sort of claims the Minneapolis area as his home, so we are going to claim him back. He lives in western Wisconsin as far as we know, but says he lives "near Minneapolis" in much of his press material. So he's ours.

Gaiman made an appearance on The Colbert Report last night to talk about his book. The story is an adapted version of "The Jungle Book", but the kid is raised by ghosts in a graveyard. Colbert clearly has some serious concerns about what this story could do to young children.
