I just finished reading The Graveyard Book today. It's a shame Gaiman is such a woker irl. You can kinda see it in that book too tbh, since he made sure the reader knows the MC's only human friend is black.

He's a typical lefty hypocrite though.

He abandoned his wife and kids during covid because he's such a terrible dad but thinks he can tell everyone else right from wrong.

Likely such people like writing morally grey characters because it helps them make excuses for their own poor behaviour.

I read 2 books by this guy and I didn't see morally grey characters, they're pretty firmly divided into good guys/bad guys. I like morally grey characters, but they're hard to write.
