Shadow is about to leave prison, where he has been behaving himself for the past three years. Days before his release, he discovers that the only person waiting for him, his wife Laura, has died in an accident with the man who was going to give him a job. With everything falling apart, Shadow is approached by a man named Wednesday, who offers him a job. Upon taking the job, Shadow finds himself thrust into a world where obscure gods brought to America are real and all around us, a war is brewing between old gods and the new gods of media, electronics, drugs, among others, and where roadside attractions are the holiest places in America. It's a sprawling work with alot of fun bits about mythology.
