The Loki Variations: The Man, The Myth, The Mischief by Karl Johnson

emotional hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

4.5

This book is so important to me. I think it explains beautifully many of the reasons why I love Loki (and all his variations) and how important his figure is, not only in Norse mythology but also in our current collective imaginary. At times, it felt like the author was reading my mind and writing exactly what I could not find words to express. 

There is not just one Loki and, ultimately, "Loki is who we need them to be".

<i>"I am Loki. God of Outcasts. They see themselves in me. And I in them. All of us. Alone together"</i>
