Review

Highways determinedly positive view of his early life ... carries over to this series of lectures. ... He is a storyteller who has gathered many stories and lived many lives himself. Winnipeg Free Press

The humour here might be outrageous, but it is also kind. ... It is a book of wisdom and healing and, ultimately, a book of joy. Miramichi Reader


Product Description

Brilliant, jubilant insights into the glory and anguish of life from one of the worlds most treasured Indigenous creators.
Trickster is zany, ridiculous. The ultimate, over-the-top, madcap fool. Here to remind us that the reason for existence is to have a blast and to laugh ourselves silly.
Celebrated author and playwright Tomson Highway brings his signature irreverence to an exploration of five themes central to the human condition: language, creation, sex and gender, humour, and death. A comparative analysis of Christian, classical, and Cree mythologies reveals their contributions to Western thought, life, and cultureand how North American Indigenous mythologies provide unique, timeless solutions to our modern problems. Highway also offers generous personal anecdotes, including accounts of his beloved accordion-playing, caribou-hunting father, and plentiful Trickster stories as curatives for the all-out unhappiness caused by todays patriarchal, colonial systems.
Laugh with the legendary Tomson Highway as he illuminates a healing, hilarious way forward.
