maribouAnansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman
This is my most favorite Neil Gaiman book ever, including any of his comics. Which is saying rather a lot. Also, you know who it reminds me of? Roald Dahl. Like, Matilda-type Roald Dahl. For grown-ups. Which is probably another one of my weird noone-else-sees-it slantwise associations, since everyone is all 'blah blah Douglas Adams blah blah Wodehouse" (okay, where everyone = Susanna Clarke, but whatever). Still, I couldn't get the likeness out of my head.
SO SO SO GOOD. And refreshing to be able to say that after what feels like rather a slew of enh in the fantasy department of late.
