Editor reviews
This recording of an evening at Symphony Space’s Thalia Book Club features a delightful discussion between authors Susanna Clarke and Neil Gaiman, which took place shortly after the release of Clarke's sensational debut, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. After a long dramatic reading from the book by actress Cristina Pickles, Gaiman and Clarke discuss their first meeting many years ago, Clarke's 10-year process writing the book, her diverse influences, and her disdain for distinctions between high and low culture. With thought-provoking questions from the audience, this is sure to be a treat for fans of these beloved authors.

Wonderful to hear Clarke and Gaiman in conversation
Plenty of insights into both their writing worlds. A lovely recording of them. Recorded not long after JS & Mr N became a phenomenon in the US and before Anansi Boys was published.

This is misleading. This is not an audiobook!
Would you try another book written by Susanna Clarke or narrated by Neil Gaiman?
I expected this to be a reading of "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norriss" by Susanna Clarke but it is just a long and boring interview of the author.
What could Susanna Clarke have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I wanted to purchase an audio reading of the book to correlate with the Kindle version that I purchased from Amazon.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Neil Gaiman?
Almost anyone would have been acceptable to narrate this if only it had been an audio version of the book as advertised.
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I'm sure I would love this book, if only it was the audio version to correlate with the Kindle version that I purchased along with it.
Any additional comments?
I am incensed by the lack of efficiency, made worse by customer service staff that can't read complaints. Having received my complaint about this book being not as advertised (in fact not a book at all!) my email wasn't even properly read and I have had one of my paid for books removed without my consent, while this drivelling interview recording remains in my library!
