Neil Gaiman revient dans l'univers de son chef-d'oeuvre American Gods pour une mythologie moderne où l'on trouve une sombre prophétie, des désordres familiaux, des déceptions mystiques et des oiseaux tueurs. Sans oublier un citron vert.

« Si on devait définir Anansi Boys, ce serait une épopée magico-horrifico-thrillo-fantastico-romantico-comico familiale, même si cela exclut son côté polar et tout son aspect culinaire. Bref, c'est un livre de moi. Et je me suis vraiment amusé en l'écrivant. » Neil Gaiman
