Trickster Makes This World

In Trickster Makes This World, Lewis Hyde explores the playful and subversive aspects of human creativity through the lens of trickster mythology, featuring figures like Hermes, Eshu, and Coyote. He connects these ancient tales to the works of modern creators such as Picasso, Duchamp, and Ginsberg, showcasing the enduring impact of trickster archetypes. This revised edition, with a new introduction by Michael Chabon, solidifies the book's place as a significant work in contemporary cultural criticism.
