American Gods

Book • 2001

American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an American landscape that is both eerily familiar and utterly alien.

The story follows Shadow Moon, an ex-con who, upon his release from prison, finds his world turned upside down.

His wife has been killed, and he is offered a job by the mysterious Mr. Wednesday, who is actually the Norse god Odin.

Shadow becomes entangled in a battle between the old gods of myth and folklore and the new gods of technology, media, and money.

The novel is a blend of mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose, taking the reader on a road trip across America to encounter a variety of unusual characters and roadside attractions.

It explores themes of cultural identity, the power of myths, and the changing values of American society.
