I’m reading InterWorld.

“This is a work of fiction. Still, given an infinite number of possible worlds, it must be true on one of them. And if a story set in an infinite number of possible universes is true in one of them, then it must be true in all of them. So maybe it’s not as fictional as we think.”

It’s like The Wizard of Oz meeting Alice in Wonderland and crashing into Pratchett meeting Diana Wynne Jones.

It’s Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves writing together. It’s InterWorld and an excerpt can be found here.

But it feels like something is missing. I’m not totally engulfed and carried away with the story, I’m not in love with it, like with so many other Gaiman-books…

Btw, it started of as a manuscript for an animated tv-show…
