Synopsis
"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman follows Shadow, a recently released convict who becomes involved in a war between the old gods of mythological lore and the new gods of technology and media. The protagonist, Shadow, is released from prison after serving three years for a robbery that resulted in the death of his wife. He is hired by a mysterious man named Wednesday, and enlists Shadow's help in a war between the old gods of mythological lore and the new gods of technology and media. As he travels across America, Shadow meets various gods and learns about his own identity and past. With an enthralling blend of mythology, fantasy, and road trip adventure, it explores the themes of belief, faith, and identity in America. It won the Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, and Locus awards, and has been adapted into a television series.
