Neil Gaiman, author of NEVERWHERE
Mark you calendars, Anglophiles! Neil Gaiman's TV series/novel Neverwhere, which is being adapted as a six-part radio drama, will begin airing March 16, 2013, on BBC Radio. Equally exciting, Anglophiles the world over can listen to the shows via the BBC’s iPlayer, which is free on the BBC website.
In case you’re not familiar with Neverwhere: It’s a dark, urban story set in “London below,” which runs parallel to “London above,” and combines elements of fantasy, crime, and romance. Especially fun for the Anglophile is Gaiman naming various characters in the story after London place names, thus we encounter the likes of Old Bailey, Islington, and Earl of Earl’s Court.
Gaiman, an English author (now living near Minneapolis, MN), has won many prestigious writing awards, including 4 Hugos, 2 Nebulas, 4 Bram Stoker Awards, 6 Locus Awards, 2 British SF Awards, a World Fantasy Award, a Newbery Medal, a Carnegie Medal, etc. Anglophiles, especially those with a bent toward Steampunk or Sci-Fi culture, will undoubtedly want to catch this Neverwhere radio drama.
Meanwhile, be sure to check out the BBC iPlayer Radio, where you can listen to fabulous content any time of day or night…
