About the Author

Joss Whedon was born in New York City in 1964. He started out as a staff writer for 1990s sitcom Roseanne, and worked on films, including Toy Story. In 1992 he penned the script for a film Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When the TV version starring Sarah Michelle Gellar took off in 1997, Whedon had his big break--with its female action heroine, Buffy became a huge hit. Whedon wrote hundreds of episodes for Buffy and its spinoff Angel, and was nominated for Emmy and Hugo awards for his work. Whedon has come to enjoy a cult following. The author lives in Santa Monica, CA..

I didn’t really like the beginning of season 9, but the ending made me feel attached to the series again. It was awesome how they incorporated Illyria into the story. She seemed a lot more humanized than she was on Angel.

When I saw that Amazon had asked me to review this item an hour ago or whenever it was I wondered what to do as it is a few weeks since I read it and although I enjoyed reading it the situation is a bit awkward and I am afraid of saying the wrong thing. During my 4th year at Oxford I postponed Finals from 1990 to 1991 because I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown; I told some of the other Classicists in my year at Brasenose College, Oxford why I hadn't sat Finals with them and was told that one of them who had gone to Winchester College knew someone called Joss Whedon who had also attended that school and who wanted to be a screen-writer/film director... When I was up for interview at BNC in early-December 1985 some of the students looking after me had told me that the Ancient History tutor David Stockton, now deceased, was rumoured to be a recruiting agent for MI6 and that he had written an article about the Peace of Callias in the mid-5th century BC and whether it was a gentleman's agreement or something more or less formal. I was also told that Field Marshall Douglas Haig from the First World War whose portrait hangs in Brasenose's dining-hall had been a member of a society called The Vampires when he was a student in the 1880s and that Brasenose also had its own version of the hellfire club called The Phoenix which had 12 members who set a 13th place for the Devil and that there had been an incident in the 18th century or whenever it was in which The Phoenix had summoned the Devil and the Devil had appeared and been seen in Brasenose Lane by someone in a passing carriage and a student had died. I had suffered from recurring nightmares about vampires when I was at primary school in the 1970s which started with Becky Michell having an ABC poster with V for vampire on it... and when I'd visited her at Rainhill Vicarage during the Easter hols of 1984 we'd listened to records of music from THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, the JAMES BOND films and Stravinsky's THE FIREBIRD... and during the early-1980s when I was in my 2nd year at Merchant Taylors' School in Crosby some of my classmates accused me of being the Antichrist even though I went to church twice on a Sunday... and I am going on, aren't I, and what has this got to do with my reviewing the book? The idea of the Phoenix setting a place for someone who either didn't turn up or wasn't there literally reminded me of the Cup of Elijah and the mince pies and sherry left out for Santa Claus... and I was interested in psychology and comparative religion and history and in being a writer and hoped I wouldn't get recruited to MI6 or anything because I like talking about things openly and honestly within reason; I appreciate that there are times when there are good reasons for being economical with the truth... and I can't help thinking of how it is D-Day today. I took a walk along Brasenose Lane in the dark several hours after my interview because I was staying overnight and I was thinking about Yoda sending Luke Skywalker into the cave... and about Uncle Andrew in THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW sending Polly and then Diggory off to another world as part of an experiment... and I didn't meet the Devil but I did find myself thinking about the idea of projection which I was already thinking about and about how in Buddhism part of the Buddha's enlightenment was coming to the realisation that the Mara, the Buddhist devil, and its temptations are the products of our own minds. A few days later, while I was waiting to hear whether I'd got into Oxford, I attended an open day at Exeter Uni which was my second choice and met JK Rowling who was a 20 year old 3rd year student on her year out helping to meet, greet and interview 6th Formers like myself and we talked over lunch just after I arrived and she asked me to think about what I'd like to write my 1st year project on if I went to Exeter and we could discuss it during my interview and during my interview I said I'd like to write about the Jungian concept of shadow projection in politics, religion and interpersonal relationships with particular reference to Plato's REPUBLIC and the Book of Revelation... and she asked me during the interview why I didn't apply to read Psychology instead of Classics and whether I kept a diary. I am wondering what to say next, whether to mention that 2 of the characters I came up with shortly afterwards were Anya Jenkins and Isobel Flemming, or whether to say that at the end of the interview I said "Perhaps we can both be the next CS Lewis; you write the children's books, I write the autobiographical philosophical stuff; feel free to use any of the personal anecdotes I've just shared with you in your novels." and off I went to get my train, and we never met again, and I felt that I'd behaved as recklessly as someone who has a one-night stand and wrecks their chances with someone else... and that lots of people would think that was creepy and ... I set myself a challenge that if I heard I'd got into Oxford on Christmas Eve 1985 which was 3 days after my 17th birthday I would come up with at least 18 ideas for books, films and TV series and in the years that followed I wrote detailed outlines of some of them and came up with some other ideas, some of which I wrote detailed outlines of. And I'm going on and it is hot and I don't want to miss NEIGHBOURS and I am wondering whether any of this will be posted or whether it will be deleted as irrelevant or likely to result in a barrage of gagging orders and stuff like that. I feel eternally grateful to Joss Whedon and various other people and I am not sure whether I could cope with fame but I am also not sure whether I could cope with not talking openly and honestly about things (I find it very stressful), and I think it is important to be diplomatic and constructive and to recognise and think about why people do things and to be compassionate... and if this isn't as well-written as it could be, it is a hot day and I have a lot of things on my mind and things I am stressed out or anxious about. I think the book is worth-reading although I am a bit biased and I have long enjoyed art although I haven't drawn or painted for years; I did O Level Art in the 6th Form and did a painting of the Propylaea which was a copy of a poster one of the history teachers, Mr Bailey, had. Mr Proctor who had the classroom beneath his had a poster on which there were weird things like the Black Madonna and an aerial photo of the North Pole and a caption about the Hollow Earth theory. I look forward to reading the book again and to comparing and contrasting the various artists' work... and sorry about the lack of paragraphs, although I am not sure whether this will be posted for various reasons.
