  1. What a surprise about Neil Gaiman’s divorce. Just kidding. She is a raging narcissist, and they had an open relationship and lived separate lives as she toured and he worked in the UK for many years. And then of course he fled her immediately when they were finally forced to live together during the pandemic. Glad it’s over. Everyone I know thinks his work suffered during the “Amanda” years.
