Neil Gaiman has started archiving a variety of introductions he’s written to various books, and today he posted one he came up with for M.J. Simpson’s biography of Douglas Adams.

I was met at the door to his Islington flat by a very tall man, with a big smile and a big, slightly crooked, nose, all gawky and coltish, as if, despite his size, he was still growing…. He was clumsy: he would back into things, or trip over them, or sit down on them very suddenly and break them.

Which, to me, is a cracking description of Corey Reid.

Who, I hope, appreciates that I’m comparing him to Douglas Adams, in a backhanded sort of way.
