About
Details
It certainly isn't a book, or an author, you HAVE to read. I guess this, like that strange car race video game and Star Trek, will be parts of popular culture that will have to live without me. ... Anybody who tells you that the book is about old and new gods, or about a man named Shadow, or about coin tricks, or about having one's head smashed in for losing a game of checkers, is selling you a line, because those are just details, not the story itself. Much like any Neil Gaiman story
