First part of four social media post by Matthew Boroson: This is about Neil Gaiman. Ta-Nehisi Coates' _Between the world and me_ is a great book. Insightful, beautifully written, profound. Coates modeled his book on James Baldwin's _The fire next time_. We know this because Coates was open and upfron a bout this fact. George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones, A song of Ice and Fire is a great series. Martin modeled his books on a series by a French author named Maurice Druon. WE know this because Martin was open and upfront about this fact. Viet Thanh Nguyen's _The Sympathizer_ is a great book. He modeled it on a book written in Vietnamese, whose title escapes me. We know this because Nguyen was open and upfront about this fact. Neil Gaiman's The Sandman is a great comic book series. Gaiman modeled his series on Tanith Lee's Tales from the flat Earth_. But you wouldn't know this, because Gaiman has never given her any credit.
