 Anansi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anansi is one of the most important and famous gods of west African lore.
Anansi appears in two Neil Gaiman novels, American Gods and Anansi Boys.
Another story tells of how Anansi tried to hoard all of the world's wisdom in a calabash.

 Neil Gaiman
Anansi Boys (take off the 'A' and try to pronounce it) begins with Fat Charlie Nancy's discovery that his estranged father has died -- and that his father, who made his childhood a misery, was, in fact, the god Anansi, the spider, teller of stories, weaver of myths and dark shadowy magic.
Next thing he knows, Fat Charlie is being investigated by the police, his fiancée’s falling in love with the wrong brother, and he finds out that his father was the god Anansi, Trickster and Spider, and that the beast gods of folklore are plotting their own revenge upon his family bloodline.
A fun book with a little of everything—horror, mystery, magic, comedy, song, romance, ghosts, scary birds, ancient grudges, and trademark British wit—it shares ideas and characters with American Gods but conveys a more personal look at the dysfunctions unique to a family of dieties (now this would be one reality show definitely to watch!).

 Powell's Books - Anansi Boys: A Novel by Neil Gaiman
He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god.
Anansi is the spirit of rebellion; he is able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, baffle the devil, and cheat Death himself.

ANANSI BOYS is, at least so far, a huge big funny enthusiastic puppy of a book that just wants to be loved, and will probably be pressed on kids by librarians.
Dear Neil:My six-year-old son and I have been fans of Anansi the Spider for some time, having first encountered him in Gerald McDermott's _Anansi the Spider_.
And then once I've finished ANANSI BOYS (a novel for adults) I'll write THE GRAVEYARD BOOK (a novel for kids).

Anansi was one of the God characters in American Gods, so there is that thread of connection.
I don't think this new book is to be considered a sequel of any sorts though.

 Bad Boys K-Squared Ramblings
His canon “good side” (the size/depth of which is debatable) is a justification for his reform - canon Draco does not have a good side.
I think real-life women hope that real-life bad boys have this unrecognized good side too and hope to bring it out - too bad some people simply don’t have them.
Also, it brings back the innocence of the 50’s movie classics when the virgin girl could always save the bad boy from himself.

Funnier than Gaiman's last two novels (Neverwhere and American Gods), Anansi Boys appears to be closer to the tone of his earlier collaboration with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens.

He would have no idea that he has a brother called Spider, who is also a god.
If his rotter of an estranged father hadn't dropped dead at a karaoke night, Charlie would still be blissfully unaware that his dad was Anansi the spider god.
No, right now Fat Charlie Nancy is angry, confused and more than a little scared - right now his life is spinning out of control, and it is all his dad's fault.

 MILE HIGH COMICS presents THE BEAT at COMICON.com 2: ANANSI BOYS audio book sample up
Anansi Boys* the other day and thought it was Neil Gaiman's best novel yet.
The story involves, as so many do, an ordinary, excessively dull chap named Charles Nancy, whose father dies and turns out to have been Anansi, the spider/trickster god of African/Caribbean legend.
