ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Anansi Boys” by Neil Gaiman follows the story of Charles "Fat Charlie" Nancy, a Londoner who discovers that his estranged father was Anansi, the trickster god from African mythology. After his father’s sudden death, Charlie is forced to confront his complicated family history and meet his charismatic brother, Spider, who fully embraces their divine heritage. As the brothers’ contrasting personalities and powers collide, the story explores themes of identity, family, legacy, and self-acceptance. Blending humor with mythology, Gaiman examines how personal growth often requires reconciling with one’s past and understanding one’s true self.
