Pilla's Reading Corner: Neil Gaiman - "American Gods"
- by Daniel Pawlik
"Gods die when they are forgotten. People do too. But the land, it remains. Good places and bad. The land never goes away." - Neil Gaiman, American Gods
What if Gods only live thanks to us and our faith in them?
Neil Gaiman, a person involved in fantasy on all fronts, presents such a concept in his story.
We have "Shadow," who is released from prison, and the mysterious Mr. Wednesday, who involves him in a journey across the States.
We have a series of murders in a small town and a completely different perspective on all mythologies we wouldn't have thought of.
But most importantly, we have a novel that tells of transience and the conflict that arises between the new and the old.
Let's check now what other readers from Lubimyczytac.pl think about "American Gods":

Just as good fights evil for centuries, so does the old fight the new. If in the first case good usually triumphs, in the second it's hard to name a winner. And Gaiman brilliantly showed this. Thank you, master!

Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair?
