I never saw Shadow as black. But the whole female-Ghostbusters-hating completed an internal journey I'd been on since Bruce picked me up on complaining an American film "ruined" my childhood love of an English book. I'm now far more accepting.
I've just reread The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Might be time to give American Gods another go. I adore Gaiman and his work; I don't pretend to have his intellect (or writing ability!) but we come from a similar place, so I always get his references. Although I had to look up The House on the Rock. Norse Gods, yes. American Tourist Attractions, no.

I feel like the Gaiman/ Palmer household is a wildfire of intellectualism. Too smart these people.

I think this line's mostly filler.

It was one of Gaiman's requirements when he sold the rights.
