![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() This is in no way meant to be an introduction to feminist theory. That said, as relative novice to the field, I, found most of the essays thought-provoking in the least, if not enlightening. They tended to add a greater depth to aspects of Gaiman's stories, most of which I know quite well, while also exposing the reader to a number of concepts that are well worth further study. For the most part, these essays agree with the statement that Gaiman writes as a feminist, but they do broach the fact that many of the best examples are difficult pieces, dealing with satire and contradiction. My only regret is that none of the stories focus on The Game of You storyline from Sandman, the one instance where I have had people claim that Gaiman was writing from a sexist perspective. Perhaps with a little research, I can find something that matches the erudition of this collection. This collection of academic essays covers a broad range of feminism in Neil Gaiman’s works. While there is a heavy focus of his comics, many novels and other works are mentioned and the broad range of feminist perspectives and topics more than make up for it. Some of the topics covered are: femininity, the male gaze, age discrimination, rape, and motherhood. Neil Gaiman has often been considered a feminist because of his strong female characters, but these essays go deeper than just exploring whether or not Gaiman’s writing can be considered feminist. A solid companion to any Neil Gaiman collection and good read for anyone interested in feminism in modern literature. ![]() I don't read many critical essays these days, but I found this collection to be very well put together and interesting enough to keep my attention. While I do consider myself to be a Neil Gaiman fan, I am by no means an expert. I wouldn't recommend this collection to the casual reader; but if the title is enough to hook your interest, you'll probably enjoy it as I did. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
