Description:
Writing Tricksters examines the remarkable resurgence of tricksters--ubiquitous shape-shifters who dwell on borders, at crossroads, and between worlds--on the contemporary cultural and literary scene. Depicting a chaotic, multilingual world of colliding and overlapping cultures, many of America's most successful and important women writers are writing tricksters. Taking up works by Maxine Hong Kingston, Louise Erdrich, and Toni Morrison, Jeanne Rosier Smith accessibly weaves together current critical discourses on marginality, ethnicity, feminism, and folklore, illuminating a ''trickster aesthetic'' central to non-Western storytelling traditions and powerfully informing American literature today.
