GOD IS DEAD
MEET THE KIDS
Fat Charlie Nancy is not having a good week. His estranged father recently dropped dead on a karaoke stage and has left Fat Charlie with much more than embarrassment. Because, you see, Charlie has discovered that his dad wasn't just any dad. He was
Anansi the trickster spider-god.
Anansi is the spirit of rebellion, able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and even baffle the devil. No wonder Fat Charlie's life is about to be turned upside down.
Written by one of fiction's most audaciously original talents, Anansi Boys is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is
at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny.
'Anansi is as charming and dangerous as he ought to be... A thoughtful, atmospheric novel' -TIMES
