Anansi Boys
Neil Gaiman is a popular man—I had no idea just how popular till I went to his book release reading at the Union Square Barns and Noble. I got there about an hour and a half early after jury duty hell and the reading room was already ¾ of the way full of excited Neil Gaiman fans and the curious—I was one of the latter. I had read his American Gods and thought it was pretty good, but this crowd thought he was amazing. Having read Anasi Boys—I agree with them.
In Anasi Boys—Anansi, the trickster spider god, dies and his two sons long separated finally meet and mad hijinks ensue. This is a terribly funny, beautiful book that I just couldn’t put down until it was done and when I was done I was sad to see it end.
