Plot summary

edit

Aziraphale, an angel (originally a guardian of the Eastern Gate ofEden), and Crowley, a demon (originally theserpentwho temptedEve), have lived on Earth since its creation. Over the millennia, they have formed an odd relationship and taken a liking to humanity. One night, the forces ofHelldeliver the infantAntichristto Crowley, with instructions toswap him with the son of an American diplomat stationed in Britain,which is how the Antichrist is planted on Earth in The Omen. Crowley realizes this means that theApocalypseis coming and persuades Aziraphale to help him prevent it. Together, they decide to influence the Antichrist's upbringing by posing as a nanny and a gardener so that the child can never really decide between Good and Evil.

However, due to several misunderstandings at the hospital, the real Antichrist is actually another boy, Adam Young, who grows up unnoticed in idyllic Lower Tadfield,Oxfordshire,together with his three close friends – Pepper, Wensleydale and Brian. As the foretold end of the world nears, Adam begins to unknowingly use his reality-warping powers, changing the world to fit his vision of how things ought to be, such as raising the lost continent ofAtlantisafter reading about it in a conspiracy theory magazine, summoning UFOs after talking to his friends about aliens, and having the Amazon rainforest reclaim land lost to urban development. In the meantime, theFour Horsemen of the Apocalypseassemble: War (a war correspondent), Famine (a dietician and fast-food tycoon), Pollution (Pestilence having retired after the discovery ofpenicillin) and Death (a biker).

Aziraphale and Crowley realize their mistake and begin a frantic search for the Antichrist. Also looking for the boy is Anathema Device, a witch who is trying to prevent the Apocalypse as predicted by her ancestor, Agnes Nutter. Agnes's prophecies are perfectly accurate, but many are so cryptic and specific as to be nearly useless, save to the time, place and person they're meant for. Anathema is joined by Newton Pulsifer, sole recruit of theWitchfinder Army(and descendent of Thou-Shall-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer, the Witchfinder who burnt Agnes Nutter at the stake), who has been sent to investigate the strange phenomena around Tadfield by Sergeant Shadwell, the Army's only other member. Everyone, including Shadwell'smediumneighbour, Madame Tracy, converges at Tadfield Military Base, where the Four Horsemen are starting a world-ending nuclear war by tampering with the computer systems.

Amid the increasing chaos, Adam is overcome with visions of greatness and attempts to split the world between his gang. When his friends react with horror at what he is becoming, Adam comes to his senses and decides to stop the Apocalypse. He and his friends make their way to the military base and defeat three of the Four Horsemen, with Death accepting defeat and vanishing. A furious Satan starts to ascend to Earth, but Adam, having heard that "his father is coming", twists reality so that his human adoptive father arrives instead, then modifies everyone's memories of recent events.

WithArmageddonaverted, Crowley and Aziraphale muse that this was God's plan all along and speculate that the real apocalyptic conflict will be between humanity and the combined forces ofHeavenand Hell. Madame Tracy marries Sergeant Shadwell, effectively disbanding the Witchfinder Army. Anathema begins a relationship with Newton and receives a second book of Agnes's prophecies, but decides not to open it, and pass it on to their descendants. Finally, Adam uses his powers to evade his father'sgroundingand watch the circus setting up with his friends.

Development

edit

Origins and authorship

edit
Neil GaimanandTerry Pratchettsigning the first American edition of Good Omens at Minneapolis'DreamHaven Books,in Sept 1990.

Neil GaimanandTerry Pratchetthad known each other since 1985. Gaiman, inspired by his success in writing a biography ofDouglas Adams(Don't Panic: Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), and in observing Adams work at close quarters decided to try novel writing, and sent a piece of work to a number of friends, including Pratchett, for feedback. Pratchett responded positively eight months later.[4]According to Gaiman, he began the book as a parody ofRichmal Crompton'sWilliambooks, namedWilliam the Antichrist,but it outgrew the original idea.[5]It was their own idea, not that of their publisher, to collaborate on a novel.[6]

Gaiman said:

We were both living in England when we wrote it. At an educated guess, although neither of us ever counted, Terry probably wrote around 60,000 "raw" and I wrote 45,000 "raw" words ofGood Omens,with, on the whole, Terry taking more of the plot with Adam and the Them in, and me doing more of the stuff that was slightly more tangential to the story, except that broke down pretty quickly and when we got towards the end we swapped characters so that we'd both written everyone by the time it was done, but then we also rewrote and footnoted each other's bits as we went along, and rolled up our sleeves to take the first draft to the second (quite a lot of words), and, by the end of it, neither of us was entirely certain who had written what. It was indeed plotted in long daily phone calls, and we would postfloppy disks(and this was back in 1988 when floppy disks really were pretty darn floppy) back and forth.[7]

Pratchett said:

I think this is an honest account of the process of writingGood Omens.It was fairly easy to keep track of because of the way we sent disks to one another, and because I was Keeper of the Official Master Copy I can say that I wrote a bit over two thirds ofGood Omens.However, we were on the phone to each other every day, at least once. If you have an idea during a brainstorming session with another guy, whose idea is it? One guy goes and writes 2,000 words after thirty minutes on the phone, what exactly is the process that's happening? I did most of the physical writing because:

  1. I had to. Neil had to keepSandmangoing – I could take time off from theDW;
  2. One person has to be overall editor, and do all the stitching and filling and slicing and, as I've said before, it was me by agreement – if it had been a graphic novel, it would have been Neil taking the chair for exactly the same reasons it was me for a novel;
  3. I'm a selfish bastard and tried to write ahead to get to the good bits before Neil.

Initially, I did most of Adam and the Them and Neil did most of the Four Horsemen, and everything else kind of got done by whoever – by the end, large sections were being done by a composite creature called Terryandneil, whoever was actually hitting the keys. By agreement, I am allowed to say that Agnes Nutter, her life and death, was completely and utterly mine. And Neil proudly claims responsibility for the maggots. Neil's had a major influence on the opening scenes, me on the ending. In the end, it was this book done by two guys, who shared the money equally and did it for fun and wouldn't do it again for a big clock.[6]

International editions

edit

The United States edition ofGood Omenshad numerous alterations to the text. The most significant alteration to the main text is the addition of an extra 700-word section just before the end, dealing with what happened to the character of Warlock, the American diplomat's son, who was swapped with Adam.[8]The American edition also adds numerous footnotes not found in British editions.

The Dutch translation ofGood Omenscontains a preface by the translator wherein he asserts that no extra footnotes were added to clarify matters that might be unclear to a modern audience – annotated with footnotes explainingomenandCrowley.

In the French version, some characters were given French-sounding names. Agnes Nutter became Agnès Barge (barge is French for nutter), Anathema Device became Anathème Bidule (Bidule being French for Device). Crowley became Rampa (as 'Crawly' became 'Crowley', 'Rampant' became 'Rampa'), after the infamous author ofThe Third Eye,T. L. Rampa.The French publisher ofGood Omens(J'ai Lu) was also the French publisher of the T. L. Rampa books.

In the Czech version of the book, the names of Agnes, Anathema, the Satanist nuns, Pepper and some minor characters were translated too. The book contains many extra footnotes as an explanation to some of the phrases that were translated more literally than usual and to add new jokes (for example the part where Anathema meets Adam and tells him she is an occultist, noting: "You were thinking 'Nothin' wrong with my eyes, they don't need examining,' weren't you?" was accompanied by a footnote:To those who understood what was the point, congratulations. For those whom it took as long as it took me: The Dictionary's definition:Oculist– rather an old-fashioned word for an ophthalmologist.).

Historical and literary inspirations

edit

The names of Agnes Nutter and her descendant Anathema Device were inspired by two of the victims of the 1612Pendle witch trials,Alice Nutterand Elizabeth Device. Gaiman confirmed the homage in a 2016 tweet.[9][10]

The book is also inspired by parts ofThe Book of Revelation.[11]

Reception

edit

According to Gaiman, no one attended an earlybook signingevent in Manhattan.[12][13]Kirkus Reviews called the novel "hilariously naughty".[14]It received a starred review from Library Journal, which called it "irreverently funny and unexpectedly wise".[15]Joe Queenanin a negative review for theNew York Timeswrote thatGood Omenswas "an experience that will persuade even the most ferociously Anglophilic Yank that the British reading public is every bit as intellectually slovenly as its American counterpart", and criticized the humor of the novel.[16]

The book has received the following awards:

  • World Fantasy Award nominee for Best Novel, 1991[1]
  • Locus Award nominee for Best Fantasy Novel, 1991[1]
  • Mir FantastikiSpecial Award for "The most anticipated book", 2012
  • WonFantLab.ru poll for "Best Translated Novel", 2012[2]

Possible sequel

edit

In 1989, a year before the completed novel was published, Gaiman and Pratchett visited the US for the World Fantasy Convention in Seattle, and shared a hotel room to save money. Unable to sleep at night due to jet lag, and not having anything else to talk about, they started plotting out the sequel toGood Omens.[17]668—The Neighbour of the Beastwas slated as the sequel's title; however, after Gaiman moved to the United States, Pratchett expressed doubt that a sequel would be written.[8]Gaiman later affirmed this in one of his essays, titledTerry Pratchett: An Appreciation.Pratchett died in 2015. In 2017, Gaiman revealed – as part of the filming of thetelevision series based on the book– that he and Pratchett had done some plotting for the sequel, including that "[t]here would have been a lot of angels in the sequel", one of whom wasGabriel,who was only briefly mentioned inGood Omensbut was to figure more prominently in the television series.[18]When asked if Neil had any plans on releasing a sequel toGood Omensor maintaining its status as a standalone work, Gaiman stated that there was a plot for one that Pratchett wanted to be told, but that whether or not it would be made would depend on certain factors.[19]

In other media

edit

Film

edit

A film, to be directed byTerry Gilliam,was planned. As of 2002, Gilliam had still hoped to make the film with its already completed script,[20]but by 2006, it seemed to have come to nothing. Funding was slow to appear, and Gilliam moved on to other projects. There was a rumour thatJohnny Deppwas originally cast as Crowley andRobin Williamsas Aziraphale. However Gaiman has said on his website, "Well, Robin's worked with Terry Gilliam before as well, of course, most famously inThe Fisher King.But I have no idea aboutGood Omenscasting (except for Shadwell. Terry told me who he wanted to play Shadwell. I immediately forgot the man's name, although I can assure you that it wasn't Robin Williams). "[21]According to an interview in May 2006 atThe Guardian'sHay Festival,Gilliam was still hoping to go ahead with the film.

Gaiman confirmed in a 2013 podcast interview withEmpirethat the majority of the funding for the film was in place in 2002, but the project could not attract the initial funding to begin production.

Even in 2008, Gilliam was still hopeful about the project. Neil Gaiman'sStardust(based on his own novel of the same name) andBeowulfwere successful as films in 2007, which had given the adaptation ofGood Omensa better chance of being picked up. A Gilliam quote from anEmpireinterview appeared as follows: "And I thought with Neil, withStardustand withBeowulfand there's another one – an animated film, aHenry Selickthing he's writtenCoraline– I was thinking he's really hot now, so maybe there's a chance. I mean it's such a wonderful book. And I think our script is pretty good, too. We did quite a few changes. We weren't as respectful as we ought to have been. But Neil's happy with it! "[22]

The history of this project and similar experiences with Gaiman's various other works (includingThe Sandmanseries) have led to his cynical view of the Hollywood process, a view which occasionally surfaces in hisweblog[23]and in some of his short fiction. Pratchett shared a similar opinion, and was quoted as saying, "The difference between me and Neil in our attitude to movie projects is that he doesn't believe they're going to happen until he's sitting in his seat eating popcorn, and I don't believe they're going to happen."[24]Pratchett had had many of the same issues with Hollywood 'suits',[6]but he, too, would have loved to have seen the film made.[25]
