Goodreads asked Neil Gaiman:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Neil Gaiman My grandfather -- my father's father -- and my great grandfather, his father, are both mysteries to me: why did my great grandfather leave Poland? Why did he leave Antwerp (and had he stolen a diamond?) and why did they return to Antwerp in 1919? Why did my great grandfather vanish in the 1920s for so long that when he returned his youngest daughter didn't know him, and where had he been? Poland? Prison? I wonder about those things so much...

Laci asked Neil Gaiman:

I'm currently reading View from the Cheap Seats and I've never actively created a to-read list while reading another book. View from the Cheap Seats would also have a soundtrack and I've added some of those musicians to my music playlist. How in the world do you make long-ago speeches and introductions so compelling?

Ezekiel asked Neil Gaiman:

I took your Masterclass and thought it was extremely informative. I was surprised by how eye-opening the comic book section was. You managed to demystify the skill of writing a comic. Any chance of you coming back to Masterclass and doing a class solely on comics?
