Manikkai

“I used to turn up at signings and people would expect me to be characters that I’d created. Particularly the Sandman. So I’d turn up to the signing and see the disappointment on people’s faces because I wasn’t tall and pale and beautiful and very morbid. They expected me to speak in gnomic gothic sentences and possibly iambic pentameter, or triolets or something.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods
