That's a great book. One of those ones that I said, "If I actually wrote books, this is what I would write."

I actually wrote the story in question before American Gods came out. Most of my stories tend to run in a similar vein, playing around with icons, myths and religious themes placed in the "real world." (Not to be a pretentious fuck but, one of my original influences was the Greek satirist Lucien who I stumbled across in college. Some of his stuff is extremely funny and has an oddly modern feel to it.)

Anyway, my writings are nothing more than what Tom Waits refers to as paper airplanes -- transient, disposable amusements. I kind of like it that way. (Or maybe that's just what I tell myself because I'm not capable of writing something with lasting meaning.)
