Lewis Hyde brings to life the playful and disruptive side of the human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology. He revisits the old stories - Hermes in Greece, Coyote in North America - and holds them up against more recent creators like Picasso, Duchamp and Ginsberg. It ranks among the great works of modern cultural criticism.
