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

4.0

Comparative mythology tends to come off as bunk to me, and recalls the days of the English professor who tried eagerly to spoonfeed The Hero with a Thousand Faces to us -- but wow, if Trickster Makes This World is bunk, it's delightful bunk. Lovely, bewitching bunk. I could just burrow in so many of its sentences. And really, it's informative, if you take this kind of thing with a grain of salt; cleverly, annoyingly, I think it kind of encourages a grain of salt.
