What is Trickster Tales about?
Irony's back. Coyote. Crow. Lear's fool. Traditional trickster figures cross boundaries, incite chaos, and turn the world on its head. Trickster Tales, by well-known chaos writer JP Briggs (Turbulent Mirror; Looking Glass Universe; Seven Life Lessons of Chaos; and Fractals) updates the ancient trickster idea. In this funny and disturbing new collection of flash fiction and longer stories, we follow a psychiatrist as his sanity is devoured by a woman who dreams herself a panther; an airborne bow tie; an engineer visiting a prostitute, becoming stripped of his science; a magician conjuring up a devil both fictitious and real. Declared dead by the pundits, old fashioned literary irony returns in Trickster Tales.
