Reviews and Recommendations
We've comprehensively compiled reviews of Preludes & Nocturnes (The Sandman, #1) from the world's leading experts.
Kate Bornstein Crossing gender is not phenomenal in Neil Gaiman’s universe – it just happens. In his cosmology desire has no gender, which is a profound statement in and of itself. There are trans characters in the books, including one based on a common friend of ours, Roz Kaveney, a poet and trans activist. The Sandman doesn’t exactly make trans normal, but he makes it something that’s expected. (Source)
