American Gods Author Neil Gaiman on Season 1, Episode 4 “Git Gone”When it was first announced that Hannibal showrunner Bryan Fuller had been tapped to finally bring Neil Gaiman’s beloved—and, by the author’s own admission, largely unadaptable—novel American Gods to television, fans wondered: would this be another Hannibal? A fiercely adored, niche show that found its greatest inspiration in wildly diverging from the Thomas Harris novels? Or would Fuller and his partner, Michael Green, turn in a slavish adaptation that could please Gaiman fans, but no one else? The answer, so far, is both. In Season 1 of American Gods, Fuller, Green, Gaiman, and company are still trying to figure out exactly what American Gods the TV show looks like. Gaiman agrees. He told Vanity Fair via phone call that this episode, centered on Shadow’s wife Laura Moon (Emily Browning), is his very favorite. Gaiman fanatics may be shocked to realize it contains almost nothing from the source novel. That’s not exactly true. Gaiman says a lot of what we learn about this backstory episode focused on Laura is “implicit” in his text. Still he agrees that the show finally feels liberated in this lengthy exploration of a woman who got something of short shrift in the novel. Before you dive in here, be sure to watch Season 1, Episode 4 of American Gods, titled “Git Gone”—airing at 9pm E. T. Then enjoy as Gaiman waxes poetic on the nature of adaptation, defends George R. R. Martin, and gives a hint of what’s to come in Season 2. Vanity Fair: I’m a long- time American Gods book fan, but when I got a sneak peak at the new episodes earlier this year, it was thi* one that really made me sit up and take notice. Whose idea was it to really flesh out Laura’s backstory? Neil Gaiman: You know, it was something that we talked about from the word “go” and before. That may have even been on the table before we asked Bryan Fuller to be showrunner in April 2. Laura is our female lead, and the joy of the TV show is they can do all the stuff I couldn’t do in the novel. In the book, I was kind of stuck in Shadow’s head, doling out information as he gave it to you. There’s so much you never got, and Laura—who she was and how she got there—seemed like this wonderful opportunity to do something the book couldn’t. Having said that, the way that they told the story was absolutely, 1. Bryan and Michael. In fact, I think one of the reasons why it’s my favorite episode is because there’s nothing that I wrote in there. It’s like I got to be an audience for something that felt completely like my world. And I loved it. You weren’t involved at all in creating Laura’s backstory? We talked a lot about it, and an awful lot of Laura’s story is actually implicit in the book. If you go back and look you’ll go, . It was the first place that I really felt like they’d broken free of the book while being completely faithful to it. There were things that we knew that we were going to change right upfront, an example of which would be Laura’s profession. In the book, she’s a small- town travel agent. There are no more small- town travel agents. They have gone the way of the small- town buggy whip vendor. They have been subsumed into history. So we said, “Let’s come up with something which she can do, something that we can go back to, something that ties in with Shadow a little bit more.” I loved what they did with that. I love the sense of surprise. Also, I have to say, I love Emily Browning’s performance. She’s fantastic and, in many ways, not at all what I expected from Laura. She is so remarkable. You haven’t seen Episode 7 yet, which is also pretty much all Emily Browning all the way. You get to see what Laura is becoming, and you also get to see her, Emily, playing an Irish lass 4. America and how that worked. Laura’s apathy and depressive attitude in this episode make her rather an unorthodox figure in a TV landscape that can be preoccupied with only likable women. I quite like Laura, but was there every any discussion about losing audience sympathy for her the way she’s portrayed here? From my point of view, what we do immediately is gain audience sympathy for Laura because, until this point, she’s his cheating wife. We love Shadow, and we know that she died with his best friend’s dick in her mouth. If anything, we do not love her. We probably don’t even like her. If put to the test, we would probably say maybe he’s better off without her. The joy of this episode is seeing who she is and what she does before she meets Shadow. Seeing their life and what happens when he’s in prison. It’s that lovely thing of, to know all is to forgive all. You go: “Okay, this is who you are. This is what happened. I’m here with you. I don’t know that if I was in your shoes I would have made better choices than you did.” What’s glorious is you realize, no, her story hasn’t stopped. This isn’t a story about Laura redeeming herself. She doesn’t have anything to redeem. She’s who she was, she did what she did. But now it’s, okay, what does she do next? I’ve seen you talk elsewhere about how Shadow’s stoicism in the book makes him, I think your words were, “an unhelpful character.” In the book, he acts as a vessel for the reader, and his blankness helps us put ourselves in his place more easily. But what works on the page doesn’t always work on the screen, and the TV version of Shadow has been given a bit of an emotional makeover. What do you think about the changes to your hero? Absolutely correct. When you tell a story just from the inside of someone and then you move the story so that you are telling it from the outside, you can no longer see the emotional volcanoes and the thunderstorms and all the things that are happening internally for the character. You need to be able to do the man another way. What I love about Ricky Whittle is his performance actually does give us both. You get the sense that this is somebody who has been hugely hurt. That’s also one of the other things I love about Episode 4. The Shadow that we meet when he gets out of prison and is told that Laura is dead, that is not the happy- go- lucky, smiling guy who made Laura get married to him and who charmed his way into her bed and her life. That’s somebody else, and he’s dead—in many ways, just as dead as Laura. Realizing that and watching who he is going to become and what is going to happen to him is huge. In making Hannibal, Bryan Fuller took a very loose adaptive approach to the Thomas Harris books. He retained the tone and the characters, but pretty much abandoned the finer details of the plot. There are moments in American Gods that are almost word- for- word your book, and then there’s something like Episode 4, which takes off on its own. You’ve touched on this a little, but how do you compare watching a scene that is lifted directly from your work, versus watching something that is wholly different? For me, as the author—and I’m probably the only person who can have this particular conversation about this particular thing—it can go both ways. My favorite episode is Episode 4, and there is scarcely a line of my dialogue in there. My favorite scene apart from that is in Episode 5, when we get Gillian Anderson as David Bowie, chewing out the Technical Boy. It’s straight out of Bryan’s head. Those are, so far, my favorite moments, because I got to be surprised and delighted. Whereas, some of the things that have gone wrong have been because Bryan would go off and go, “I think we can make this thing up,” and I’m going, “Aaah, no. That’s actually deciding to add the thing to the house of cards that it cannot take.” We’d wind up having shot a scene or looking at a rough cut episode going, “Oh, that thing that you made up and put in just doesn’t work, but all the stuff that was based on the novel does. So let’s just lose that bit.”You’ve had to toss out some of Bryan’s additions? Both of those things have happened. First seasons of any series are the ones where you figure out why something is. You look at it and go, “This worked, this didn’t work. This thing that we thought would work worked amazingly well. This thing that we thought would work crashed and burned.” As a result of which, now we have this fantastic thing: American Gods. I think by the end of Episode 8, we know what kind of machine it is, what it does, what it doesn’t do. We know what kind of weight it can carry and what kind of weight it can’t. I think that is going to be incredibly useful for the seasons going forward, for Bryan, for Michael, for me, and, hopefully, for the cast as well. Bryan and Michael have talked specifically about their frustrations trying to expand what wound up being an eight- hour story into a ten- episode season order. I was wondering if you shared their specific frustrations, or if yours were a little different. How did the rocky road to adaptation worked for you? For me, well, I got to be slightly more of an audience on this, but I was there at key moments. There was, particularly, the moment where we looked at what we’d shot and what we’d rough cut together with Episode 3 and the original Episode 4 and went, “You know, we have half a good episode here, and half a good episode there. Ah, what do we do?” That was the point where Starz—who really have been the partners from heaven, and could not have been wiser or better—said, “Okay, look, the stuff that’s fantastic is fantastic. The stuff that isn’t working isn't working. We think you should take an episode for re- shoots and take the half of Episode 3 that works and the half of Episode 4 that works and mix them together.” All of that kind of stuff I watched with fascination. How does condensing the episodes down like that affect the season overall? The place where I mostly had to get my hands dirty was working with Bryan and Michael to turn their penultimate episode into the ultimate episode of the season. Right now, it all ends on the way to The House on the Rock, with an awful lot of wonderful, strange stuff happening.
