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
有點希望父子倆能一直開著車在美國晃悠下去的同時又有點心煩意亂 這一點足以說明公路旅行的部分非常寫實瞭 然而後1/4太反高潮 Shadow是個細膩溫柔又正直的人 在所有抉擇裏都義無反顧的做齣瞭“對的”選擇 也正因為如此他是一個挺平淡無聊的角色 哪怕從這場神話的旁觀者到身在其中的重要推動者這個轉變都隻有石子投進水裏這點小小的波瀾
評分來美國這些年,也算是不長不短瞭。直到這兩天讀《美國眾神》纔第一次覺得這個國傢鮮活有趣。好想沿著Shadow的路綫把美國走一圈,住一住那些從來不會被人提及的小鎮,聽一聽那些早晚都會被遺忘的故事
評分an immigrant road-trip story. 可以蓋曼畢業瞭
評分“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)。
評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'
