	Jim Mann's Reviews and Comments: Sandman: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman
		Brief Lives is one of the best of the series, and also one of the most straightforward.
		Brief Lives is also a good example of how the media can really be used to tell a story in a way that couldn’t simply be told through prose.
		Brief Lives is a good piece of fantasy, even for those who have no knowledge of or interest in comics.

	ActionIsMyReward.com: The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives! Buy Best & Top Selling Books!
		Brief Lives is very much an up, perhaps second in the series only to Dream Country in its brilliance.
		Brief Lives tells the story of Dream and Delirium, off to search for their missing brother Destruction, who abandoned his realm three centuries before.
		In Brief Lives, the stories that Gaiman has hinted at throughout most of The Sandman series (of the desertion of one of The Endless; and of Dream's son, Orpheus) come to pass, as Dream and Delirium take a road trip together to try to set things right again.

	Brief Lives -- John Aubrey
		They, and many others, are here remembered by another great Englishman, John Aubrey, whose Brief Lives are some of the wittiest and most moving miniature portraits ever written.
		Aubrey - a scholar, antiquarian and close observer of both the foibles and courage of this contemporaries - lived through the upheavals of the English Civil War in the 17th century.
		His little biographies are amusing, ribald, moving; a testament to the brevity of human existence and one of the most precious relics of a distant age.

	Encyclopedia: The Sandman: Brief Lives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Brief Lives (1994) is the seventh collection of issues in the DC Comics series, The Sandman.
		The quest costs the lives of many of the pair's mortal contacts; this, it transpires later, is a result of 'mechanisms' Destruction set up to protect himself from discovery when he left.
		The title of the collection is the most significant of all the collections, for much of it is indeed concerned with mortality; in another of the most significant lines of the series, Death tells Bernie Capax, a man who has lived for fifteen thousand years, "you lived what anybody gets, Bernie.

		This collection of lives of the saints was universally used by medieval artists.

	Aubrey's Brief Lives
		The writers of the lives of the ancient philosophers used to, in the first place, to speak of their linage; and they tell us that in process of time several illustrious great families accounted it their glory to he branched from such or such a Sapiens.
		He lived after this seven days, taking very little nourishment, slept well, and by intervals endeavoured to speak, but could not.

		This is the list of departures: her son; her brother; his lover; his father and her husband; her reality; his existence; their short sexual lives; their chauffeur and his employee; his former lover and her coworker; his son; his life; his tranquility; his obligation.
		BRIEF LIVES is a road story, itself an encapsulation of transition.
		Delirium, the youngest of the Endless, asks her brother Dream to help her track down Destruction, who abandoned his post 300 years before.

	Scenes from “Brief Lives” with Roy Dotrice
		"Brief Lives" had two good runs on Broadway in the 60’s and 70’s.
		Here is Aubrey at the end of his life, an old man in a room cluttered with his collections, recalling Elizabethan customs, personalities and folklore and what the objects he has carefully saved tell about the past.
		Yet he died unknown and his “Lives” was not even discovered for another century.

	Amazon.com: The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives: Books: Neil Gaiman,Jill Thompson,Vince Locke,Peter Straub (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Gaiman's very popular Sandman series (this is the eighth book in the series) continues with another tale of the Endless, the family of mythic cosmic beings that govern the psychic and physical realms of Dream, Desire, Despair, Destiny, Delirium, Destruction and Death.
		But Brief Lives, in which Morpheus' loopy kid sister, Delirium drags him on a quest to find their long-lost brother, Destruction, may be the series' pinnacle.
		Brief Lives is, godlike entities and talking animals aside, a simple, touching story of love and family.

	RandomHouse.ca \| Books \| Brief Lives 2: J.M.W. Turner by Peter Ackroyd
		The second short biography in Peter Ackroyd’s Brief Lives series concentrates on the life and work of perhaps the greatest and most original of all English Painters.
		This is the biography that Peter Ackroyd was born to write: Turner’s Englishness, his temperament and his London background lie at the core of Ackroyd’s lively personal interest in and specialist knowledge of London’s history.
		He is the author of London: The Biography, and Illustrated London, and very few of his prize-winning biographies and novels stray far form his London obsessions.

	Random House Academic Resources \| Brief Lives by Anita Brookner
		With this novel, Booker Prize-winning author Anita Brookner confirms her reputation as an unparalleled observer of social nuance and deeply felt longings.
		Brief Lives chronicles an unlikely friendship: that between the flamboyant, monstrously egocentric Julia and the modest, self-effacing Fay, who is at once fascinated and appalled by Julia's excesses.
		Thrust together by their husbands' business partnership—and by a guilty secret—Julia and Fay develop an intense bond that is nonetheless something less than intimacy, a relationship in which we see our own uneasy compromises, not only with other people, but with life itself.

	Observer review: Telling Tales edited by Nadine Gordimer \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Both Martin and Arlene are divorced and, having lived in the suburbs, are returned to the city to be free.
		The possibility of romance hangs over their meeting, but Martin subsequently discovers from his ex-wife that Arlene is already 'taken'; she has cancer and 'the disease figured in his mind as a reason to let Arlene alone'.
		He ends up seeing a little of her, however, giving her lifts to hospital, talking about the old days, until, one day, he finds himself mouthing reluctant pleasantries to her as she lies on her death bed.

	DOA - Would-Be-Goods - Brief Lives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Although having roots in the 1980's and the now deceased el label, the Would-Be-Goods lived on in the memories of their fans (many of which were curiously located in Japan) and on their out-of-print recordings, only returning to the scene in the spring of 2001.
		Case in point, the big rolling piano grooves of "Richard III" or the sing-songy folksiness of "1999" are songs that little need the curiosity of their storylines to worm their way into your mind.
		Whether depicting hopeful lovers in the softly swinging "Butterfly Kiss" or breaking into French to hold the rhyme scheme of the lonely artist vignette in "Diminuendo," Griffin's tales unfold with delicacy and great attention to detail, drawing you in with melody and wit.

	Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus
		However much Carter claims, both within the text and in her comments about the ending, to be inviting the reader to become a producer rather than a consumer of the text, the fact remains that she continues to exercize tight if inconspicuous control of the narrative throughout its duration.
		And it is fitting that Walser, previously the representative of a materialist civilization obsessed by facts should fall under the influence of this comic representative of the irrational and the surreal.
		Even the bear he lives with is "both a real, furry and beloved bear and, at the same time, a transcendentasl kind of meta-bear, a minor deity..." (257).

	Sandman: Brief Lives (Volume VII) Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		The consistent team does lend a nice feel to the book and helps it stand out as the arc-driven volume that it is, as opposed to some of the earlier volumes that contain stand-alone stories.
		Brief Lives is a great entry in the saga of the Sandman.
		While it may not be as good as volumes III or IV, Brief Lives is a great tale, and definitely one of the better Sandman volumes.

		The combination of the detached tone of the writing and the weirdness of the story grabbed me. Kathleen Jones is actually a biographer herself, so I was interested in her response to the brief.
		At one level her story is an almost facetious reference to the idea of 'Brief Lives' (a girl growing up in a funeral home makes brief acquaintances with the clientele), but it also tells the longer-term story-so-far of its narrator in a thought-provoking way.
