"This is a great book on the history of the trickster figure in different mythologies and the cultural role that this particular figures identity plays in our culture both historically and in modernity. Hyde tells a few stories, and in doing so explains societies need for a figure that operates in the crease to trick us out of what we think we know and therefore further expand knowing oursleves. This is a pretty quick read, very well written and topically keeps you heading into the next chapter when you think you're done for the night."
"A little too heady for me, but interesting. The thoughts about guilt and shame were worth the work of reading it. Shame=the eyes of your community. Guilt=your heart's eyes."
