With American Gods I was trying very, very consciously - there was a level at which it was a little like trying to write a novel in French - you know, this novel is to be written in American.

Rain in the graveyard, and the world puddled into blurred reflections.

Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel.
