Does Mr. Nancy have an important role in American Gods? I'd like to see more of his personality, since he, you know, died, before I got to know him.
Currently I'm reading The Series of Unfortunate Events, because I never read it as a kid, and my girlfriend finds that strange.
He does and doesn't. Actually the end part probably explains what lead to him dying too. I won't go into details but they give a brief bit of dialog to tell that gods do die, they are tougher than humans but they can still die. Then again, it isn't so much killing a person as killing an idea. Again, read it for better details but yes he does play an important part here and there for the main character Shadow. But the only god that gets the most time in the story is Wednesday which is one of the many names for Odin.
