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

评分現在能看懂還不算晚,精彩????
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.”
评分高中第一次看沒看齣名堂覺得難看。現在竟讀齣一股時代大潮滾滾嚮前感,鮑勃迪倫的歌很好總結瞭我對這本小說的想法:For the loser now/Will be later to win/For the times they, they are a-changin'
评分“He was me, yes. But I am not him.”最後奧丁解釋自己和星期三的關係的這句話講齣瞭這本書的精髓。美國奧丁星期三死瞭,北歐奧丁還是活在北歐(人的頭腦之中)。
