Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art
Description
In Trickster Makes This World, Lewis Hyde brings to life the playful and
disruptive side of human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology.
He first visits the old stories―Hermes in Greece, Eshu in West Africa, Krishna
in India, Coyote in North America, among others―and then holds them up against
the lives and work of more recent creators: Picasso, Duchamp, Ginsberg, John
Cage, and Frederick Douglass. Twelve years after its first publication,
Trickster Makes This World―authoritative in its scholarship, loose-limbed in
its style―has taken its place among the great works of modern cultural
criticism. This new edition includes an introduction by Michael Chabon. Read
