''A warm, funny, immensely entertaining story about the
impossibility of putting up with your relations - especially if
they happen to be Gods. Anansi Boys combines the anarchy of Douglas
Adams with a Wodehousian generosity of spirit. Guaranteed to make
all but the most committed arachnophobe feel gratefully towards
spiders'' Susanna Clarke Susanna Clarke
胖查理身陷囹圄，只得回到佛罗里达，试图摆脱兄弟的干扰。他借助于魔法，进入了图腾动物神祗们居住的灵魂世界，但故事从此变得更加复杂和诡异，神祗们把这对兄弟带入一系列惊悚骇人的冒险之中，作为蛛神阿纳西的另一个儿子，胖查理能否挽回自己对兄弟造成的伤害？能否从自己无意中所释放出来的超自然力量手中，救下蜘蛛和整个世界？生活能否重新回到正轨？
Fat Charlie Nancy is not actually fat. He was fat once but
he is definitely not fat now. 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.
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. He would have no idea that he has a
brother called Spider, who is also a god. And there would be no
chance that said brother would be trying to take over his life,
flat and fianc?e, or, to make matters worse, be doing a much better
job of it than him. Desperate to reclaim his life, Charlie enlists
the help of four more-than-slightly eccentric old ladies and their
unique brand of voodoo - and between them they unleash a bitter and
twisted force to get rid of Spider. But as darkness descends and
badness begins is Fat Charlie Nancy going to get his life back in
one piece or is he about to enter a whole netherworld of
pain?
