One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream.The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory.The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless.
The tale is the map that is the territory.
You must remember this.

A strange tale of the collaboration between a human and the Gods of old in a dual with the new gods. A good read but the concept is somewhat strange. Winner of the 2001 Bram Stoker Award for best novel.
In my book Neil Gaiman rarely disappoints. I've love almost everything I've ever read of Mr. Gaiman's. American Gods is no exception. It's fun, sad, thought invoking. I loved this book. Keep writing Neil.
