Synopsis:
Trickster Makes This World solidifies Lewis Hyde's reputation as, in Robert Bly's words, "the most subtle, thorough, and brilliant mythologist we now have". In it Hyde brings to life the playful and disruptive side of the human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology. He first revisits the old stories -- Hermes in Greece, Eshu in West Africa, Krishna in India, Coyote in North America, etc. -- and then holds them up against the life and work of more recent creators: Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Allen Ginsberg, and Frederick Douglass. Authoritative in its scholarship, loose-limbed in its style, Trickster Makes This World ranks among the great works of modern cultural criticism.
Review:
"...Hyde seems not to have studied the scholarship of art as thoroughly as he has read his way through the trickster stories....Hyde never makes it clear how he has selected his culture heroes, and in any case, apart from the first two or three, his efforts to identify them as tricksters are unconvincing."
Paul Mattick, New York Times Book Review, 02/15/1998
Review:"[A] book that persuasively celebrates the need for the kind of paintings, music, books and ideas that society initially finds unpleasant, if not downright repulsive, subversive or immoral."
Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World, 02/08/1998
