Catalog description

What do Hermes, Brer Rabbit, Q, and the serpent of Genesis have in common? All might be considered tricksters—boundary-breaking characters that sometimes play the harmless idiot, sometimes play the malevolent jokester, and almost always teach us something about ourselves. We’ll seek out tricksters throughout cultural history and apply our understanding of the archetype to identifying contemporary tricksters in unexpected places.
