Newbery Medal-winning writer Neil Gaiman will get a road named after his most recent novel.

The bus lane, west of Canoe Lake in Portsmouth, will be christened The Ocean at the End of the Lane in honor of Gaiman’s latest adult novel. The naming event is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Sunday, August 18th.

Later that same evening, Gaiman will deliver a talk and headline a signing event at Portsmouth Guildhall. He will autograph all copies of The Ocean at the End of the Lane and one backlist title per person. Those who want to attend must purchase a £6 ticket.
