Reviews

Trickster Lives represents a significant new perspective on American literature,as well as an important contribution to trickster scholarship, not simply because it contains excellent original essays on both well-known and lesser-known works, but because its interdisciplinary approach broadens our sense of what literary studies can be."" — Jeanne Rosier Smith, author of Writing Tricksters: Mythic Gambols in American Ethnic Fiction

""For analysis and argument about trickster in Native Hawaiian texts, Brer Rabbit tales, Cherokee narratives, Erdrich novels, and selected Latino texts—and for challenging us to think about what is and is not appropriately called trickster—the volume is quite valuable."" — Americas
