Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth and Art
by Lewis Hyde
North Point Press

Our Price: $16.00

One senses unspoken in this lively book Hyde's plunge into the bottomless murk of myth while grappling with an archetype as it thrashes into new shapes, desperate not to yield its secrets. But the surface of his text glistens with such a dexterity (if glee and generosity) it is clear that Hyde, wrestling down there in the deeps, has attained the mastery to DANCE + PLAY with trickster's protean antics. With the colors of many myths, artistic acts, and personal histories, he limns the trickster archetype as an integral-liminal, personal-cultural force that disintegrates centers and disinters limits. May this book set you sparking with insight.
