Books of Wonder
South Street NYRSF
And here's a cool new REVIEW with the excellent observation:
The real audience for this book, I would think, would be that fairly large population of hip teachers, those folks who read the genre or are at least not averse to it, and want to plant the seeds for a new generation of readers. It seems to me that this would be the ideal reading textbook for a high school class, the sort of book that students would actually enjoy reading, and that might turn a few of them into permanent readers. I hope the Viking is sending this out to school district book buyers and libraries. Or even just making the students buy the damn book; though more than a few parents will enjoy it as well. For who is more like a teenager than the Trickster? The combination of good and evil, of knowledge and ignorance, that duality of child and adult defines the Trickster figure. The Trickster is the perpetual teenager in all of us.
