尼爾•蓋曼（Neil Gaiman）

歐美文壇新一代幻想文學大師，文學魔術界的精靈王子，暢銷小說作傢，無數奬項的獲得者。他集記者、詩人、詞作者、編劇和導演於一身，將想象、趣味與智慧完美結閤，被《文學傳記辭典》譽為十大後現代作傢之一。

他二十七歲開始文學創作，卓越的纔華很快為其贏得瞭許多殊榮。《睡神》係列的《仲夏夜之夢》一舉贏得瞭世界奇幻奬。之後的《美國眾神》可謂幻想類文學的奇葩，先後獲得雨果奬、星雲奬及布拉姆•斯托剋奬，成為瞭蓋曼的代錶作。源源不斷的靈感賦予瞭他更大的創作熱情，此後，《卡羅琳》和《綠字的研究》兩獲雨果奬，前者也再度問鼎布拉姆•斯托剋奬。

如今，尼爾•蓋曼更是好萊塢的寵兒和許多製片人眼中的金童。其作品很多都被搬上瞭銀幕，《蜘蛛男孩》、《鏡麵具》、《烏有鄉》、《星塵》等皆有不俗反響。正是像尼爾•蓋曼這樣的說故事大師，讓原本曇花一現的故事元素有瞭不斷的輪迴，有瞭綿亙的新生。
