A Few Fair Books - Suntup Edition's American Gods by Neiman Gaiman - Classic Edition

Suntup Edition American Gods by Neil Gaiman - Classic Edition A masterful blend of fantasy, horror, Americana and mythology, American Gods is Neil Gaiman’s exhilarating and imaginative road trip epic, examining faith and mortality in the age of media obsession. After three years in prison, Shadow is a man who has done his time. No longer afraid of what the future may bring, his only desire is to be reunited with his wife Laura and to start a new life. But just days before his release, Shadow’s best friend and Laura are killed in a car accident, leaving him lost and heartbroken. With his life in shambles and no plans for his future, Shadow accepts a job offer from Mr. Wednesday, a beguiling stranger he meets on his way home who seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself. Being Mr. Wednesday’s bodyguard, driver and errand boy proves more dangerous than Shadow could have ever imagined, taking him on a dark and strange road trip that introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates seem mysteriously intertwined with his own. Published on June 19, 2001, American Gods was hailed as an instant classic, showered with praise by critics and peers alike. Michael Chabon wrote, “American Gods manages to reinvent, and reassert, the enduring importance of fantastic literature itself in this late age of the world. Dark fun, and nourishing to the soul.” George R.R. Martin praised it as “original, engrossing and endlessly inventive.” Library Journal called it “compellingly imaginative,” while Amazon’s review raved, “American Gods is Neil Gaiman’s most ambitious novel yet. An outside-in and inside-out perspective on the soul and spirituality of America’s obsessions with money and power, our jumbled religious heritage and its societal outcomes, and the millennial decisions we face about what’s real and what’s not.” In 2002, American Gods won the Nebula Award, the Locus Award, the Hugo Award, the SFX Award and Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel. In 2017, it was adapted into an Emmy Award nominated television series.
