Summary:The beloved and best-selling British author will be at George Washington University's sold-out Lisner Auditorium on Friday night to discuss the creative watershed, "The Ocean at the End of the Lane," which was released this week. With its child's vantage point on parental control and cruelty, the power of imagination and friendship, and perceived horrors, magnified, "Ocean" taps some of the same groundwater as Gaiman's children's tale "Coraline" (which spawned an Oscar-nominated film) and nods to some of his other titles, including "The Graveyard Book" (which director Ron Howard is working on adapting to film).
