Sandman scholarship

Recently read: _The Sandman Papers_, ed. by Joe Sanders. It's a collection of (light) academic papers about Neil Gaiman's masterwork. A mixed bag, as these things usually are: some excellent, some pointless, some well-researched, some error-ridden. The editor has 2.5 pieces in it himself, and they are all in the good-to-excellent range, so that bodes well for possible future installments. Mildly recommended if you're into both Sandman and academia/media-studies.

One down side of having read this is that I woke up at 3:30 in the morning last night, with a thesis in my head that demanded I do a few hours of work outlining it before letting me go back to sleep. Tentative title: "Crisis on Earth-Sandman: The Uses of Continuity in Neil Gaiman's Sandman".
