Neil Gaiman: 'Narnia made me want to write, to do that magic trick'

The American Gods and Good Omens author on his friendship with Gene Wolfe, crying over Diana Wynne Jones and falling under the spell of CS L

Good morning @neil-gaiman, thank you so much for this.  I'm psyched to add your books to my list!  I learned to read my first words with the Chronicles of Narnia.  Dawn Treader and Magician's Nephew are my favorites.  It must be the portals.

without spite my heart may actually stop

When the Baal Schem, the founder of Hasidism, had a difficult task before him, he would go to a certain place in the woods, light a fire and meditate in prayer; and what he had set out to perform was done.  When a generation later, the Maggid of Meseritz was faced with the same task, he would go to the same place in the woods, and say: “We can no longer light a fire, but we can pray.”  And everything happened according to his will.  When another generation had passed, Rabbi Moshe Leib of Sassov was faced with the same task, [and] he would go to the same place in the woods, and say: “We can no longer light a fire, nor do we know the secret meditations belonging to the prayers, but we know the place in the woods, and that can be sufficient.”  And sufficient it was.  But when another generation had passed and Rabbi Israel of Rishin was called upon to perform the task, he sat down in his golden chair, in his castle, and said: “We cannot light the fire, we cannot speak the prayers, we do not know the place, but we can tell the story of all this.”  And, once again, this was sufficient.

Twitter Thread: Inuit Shares Insane Food Prices Up North

Seventy dollars for a watermelon? What is this, Japan?

Please check this out. WTAF??! I had no idea Inuit and extreme northern people were price-gouged so insanely, for what in my privileged diet are basic nutrients. Lettuce for $17. Water for $104. $70 for a veggie tray. Of course they hunt! My basic two-week grocery list would be in the $100,000's.

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
