Synopsis
Cult-favorite fantasist Neil Gaiman's unique blend of myth and popular culture runs gloriously amok once again in this novel, set in the same milieu as AMERICAN GODS. Just as AMERICAN GODS followed the adventures of Shadow, the son of the American incarnation of the god Wotan/Odin, ANANSI BOYS focuses on Fat Charlie, the son of Mr. Nancy, the American incarnation of the West African trickster god Anansi the Spider. When Mr. Nancy unexpectedly dies on a Florida karaoke stage, Charlie must confront his difficult and often humiliating heritage in two ways, via not only the cheerful but dangerous anarchy of his hitherto unknown brother, who sets about seriously messing up Charlie's life, but also the malice of Tiger, Anansi's immortal foe.
