Anna Maria anonimia... I don't know who you are...but damn, I like you a lot already! ☺
Anna Maria anonimia, what do you think? Are you bitter and cynical? Was your answer to Aradhita's question bitter and/or cynical?
I agree, what people are looking for in Gaiman, more likely they'll find in Phillip K. Dick. I just read Campbell
Maybe it was just you and the people who agreed with you who either didn't find the message resonated with them or were incapable of/unwilling to put enough thought in to grasp the ideas at play here.
I read Phillip K. Dick. Not sure what that has to do with anything. What exactly am I supposed to be looking for that I'm supposed to get from one and not the other?
Actually, I didn't find the concepts of this book too hard to grasp and wss rather entertained by it. I'm sorry you weren't. If you feel this way about Gaiman, I recommend you not read Salman Rushdie who clearly writes his books for his own mental masturbation.
If you know the mythologies involved it's actually a really exciting and entertaining book. Your just missing context that's why it's making you feel stupid.
Just for the people who think it's my lack of knowledge about mythologies: I love mythologies, and in fact I have been reading about them since I could read (and I already knew a lot of things by then, as my mother loved mythologies too and told them as bed time stories to me and my brother). Maybe we just have different taste.
