Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In <i>Trickster Makes This World</i>, Lewis Hyde brings to life the playful and disruptive side of human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology. He first visits the old stories--Hermes in Greece, Eshu in West Africa, Krishna in India, Coyote in North America, among others--and then holds them up against the lives and work of more recent creators: Picasso, Duchamp, Ginsberg, John Cage, and Frederick Douglass. Twelve years after its first publication, <i>Trickster Makes This World</i>--authoritative in its scholarship, loose-limbed in its style--has taken its place among the great works of modern cultural criticism. <p/>This new edition includes an introduction by Michael Chabon.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"[A] hymn to the gods of mischief, who are also the gods of artistic and cultural renewal." --<i>Michael Dirda, The Washington Post</i> <p/>"A major work of scholarship that is also a major work of art." --<i>Sacvan Bercovitch, Harvard University</i> <p/>"Brilliant . . . By the time [Hyde] is done he has folded language culture, and the very habit of being human into his ken." --<i>The New Yorker</i> <p/>"Hyde is one of our true superstars of nonfiction." --<i>David Foster Wallace</i> <p/>"[<i>Trickster Makes This World</i>] should be ready by anyone interested in the grand and squalid matter of all things human." --<i>Margaret Atwood, Los Angeles Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Lewis Hyde</b> is the author of <i>The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property </i>and <i>Common as Air </i>(FSG, 2010). A MacArthur Fellow and former director of creative writing at Harvard, he is currently Luce Professor of Art and Politics at Kenyon College.</p>
