georges Member	Posted Plagiarism? - The image used early in AM Gods of a fox grinning like it was eating shit off a barbed wire fence - is this nicked from Robert Nye ( i think it was in Merlin, or perhaps Faust) where he repeatedly descrbes a smile like that of a fox eating shit off a wire brush. Theft or a really odd coincidence...?

Posted Hide Post I don't specifically remember that passage, but I'd assume it's more of a tip of the hat by Gaiman than anything else. I do remember someone asking him about the passage in American Gods that sounded similar to the first sentence or two of William Gibson's Nueromancer. But instead of static, the dead channel was a transcendent blue. ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

georges Member	Posted Hide Post Thanks, Scoundrel - I think you're right.+ Gaiman is more interesting than Nye, on the whole. pippip
