The Annotated American Gods
New York: William Morrow, 2019.
First Edition. Hardcover.
First Printing of the annotated edition of Gaiman's classic discourse on America with a foreword and notes by Leslie Klinger.
Shadow, fresh out of prison and newly widowed, becomes the bodyguard for an enigmatic grifter and embarks on a harrowing roadtrip across an America at once familiar and mysterious.
Mr. Gaiman offers a caveat for the reader – “it goes without saying that all of the people, living, dead, and otherwise, in this story are fictional or used in a fictional context. Only the gods are real.”
This annotated volume of the Author's Preferred Text edition features commentary identifying gods and supernatural beings, explaining key phrases, and showing how Gaiman built the novel. Klinger gives readers insight into the story and into Gaiman's creative process and authorial decisions.
