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“He was me, yes. But I am not him.”最后奥丁解释自己和星期三的关系的这句话讲出了这本书的精髓。美国奥丁星期三死了，北欧奥丁还是活在北欧（人的头脑之中）。

评分高中第一次看没看出名堂觉得难看。现在竟读出一股时代大潮滚滚向前感，鲍勃迪伦的歌很好总结了我对这本小说的想法：For the loser now/Will be later to win/For the times they, they are a-changin'
