Gaiman returned to Iceland to film this video, reminiscing about when he first started working on the novel, 20 years ago. He describes American Gods as a story about immigrants, tying into his own history as an immigrant in America.

It’s incredible to think that “American Gods” was a working title that Gaiman thought up on the spur of the moment. But that’s why they pay him the big bucks.
