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

4.0

This is a dense and rewarding book. It took concentration to read. Parts of it felt revelatory and transformed my thinking about tricksters as archetypes. I also learned much about Fredrick Douglass that I did not know. I loved the way Hyde writes, weaning together myth, present day a& his reflections on the intersections. My one bed is that a few of the chapters felt more abstract and disconnected (notably the interlude & project chapters for me).
