Newly updated and expanded with the author’s preferred text. A modern masterpiece from the multiple-award-winning master of innovative fiction, Neil Gaiman.
First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic, lauded for its brilliant synthesis of “mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose” (Washington Post) and as a modern phantasmagoria that “distills the essence of America” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is the story of Shadow—released from prison just days after his wife and best friend are killed in an accident—who gets recruited to be bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic trickster, Mr. Wednesday. So begins Shadow’s dark and strange road trip, one that introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. For, beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a storm is brewing—an epic war for the very soul of America—and Shadow is standing squarely in its path.
“Pointed, occasionally comic, often scary, consistently moving and provocative….American Gods is strewn with secrets and magical visions.”—USA Today
“Original, engrossing, and endlessly inventive.”—George R. R. Martin
来美国这些年,也算是不长不短了。直到这两天读《美国众神》才第一次觉得这个国家鲜活有趣。好想沿着Shadow的路线把美国走一圈,住一住那些从来不会被人提及的小镇,听一听那些早晚都会被遗忘的故事
评分an immigrant road-trip story. 可以盖曼毕业了
评分My favorite part is weirdly, Sam talking about what she believes. The climax is quite anticlimactic, but I’ve quite enjoyed the ride. And truly what’s fun being gods? “I’ve got to love what is mortal.”
评分有点希望父子俩能一直开着车在美国晃悠下去的同时又有点心烦意乱 这一点足以说明公路旅行的部分非常写实了 然而后1/4太反高潮 Shadow是个细腻温柔又正直的人 在所有抉择里都义无反顾的做出了“对的”选择 也正因为如此他是一个挺平淡无聊的角色 哪怕从这场神话的旁观者到身在其中的重要推动者这个转变都只有石子投进水里这点小小的波澜
