@John_S_Phipps Fergus Butler-Gallie The Fence Magazine Back in The Seventies I had the pleasure of speaking to a very nice man called Dr Donald Duck. He was born before Disney had made a film.
The Economist @John_S_Phipps Believe that only with the disappearance of the CCP can Uyghurs gain real peace😔
Neil Gaiman @SpectatorUSA @John_S_Phipps Well gosh. With headlines like his two previous articles, he seems like a totally sane author that is NOT a serial killer.
@SpectatorUSA Neil Gaiman @John_S_Phipps But, it gave us michael sheen 💙 as Lucifer. So, there’s that. twitter.com/lilibetpride/s…
Thanks John Haffenden for getting me into this play. It’s about choosing a cover of a book, no explanations, inviting 6 others. I’m choosing Fundacja Olgi Tokarczuk by Fitzcarraldo Editions and nominate @John_S_Phipps, Annika Möslein, Megan Quigley, Matthew Bevis, Lynette Ballard & Lucy Fleming 📚
The Spectator Neil Gaiman @John_S_Phipps This review is in the long tradition of reviews in which the reviewer is only reviewing for the sake of telling people how pleased he is with himself for his witty takedowns of someone else's original work.
Except the takedowns weren't even witty. The rest of it is just padding.
@SpectatorUSA Neil Gaiman @John_S_Phipps “Listening to the tacky and incomprehensible audio-adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel series Sandman, I couldn’t stop thinking about the 19th-century Swiss artist Rodolphe Töppfer, because I am a pretentious pseudo-intellectual assclown.” - @John_S_Phipps
Neil Gaiman @SpectatorUSA @John_S_Phipps This made me laugh out loud. That’s what we’re here for, friend.
Mr Gaiman gives us that deliciously dramatic language without ever taking himself too seriously.
But I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion (regardless of how blatantly incorrect)...
@SpectatorUSA Neil Gaiman @John_S_Phipps And I agree with Neil Gaiman ...tagging him in a negative review is reeks of a desperate attempt at attention.
@SpectatorUSA Neil Gaiman @John_S_Phipps They need the drama for the engagement they lack.
'No image exists in this book that does not in some way register the fitful passage of time, the left-to-right sweep of our existence.'
