"Tomson Highway is a Cree author, playwright, and musician. In 'Laughing with the trickster' he brings his signature irreverence to an exploration of 5 themes central to the human condition: language, creation, sex and gender, humour, and death. An invigorating comparison of Christian, classical, and Cree mythologies reveals they contributions to Western thought, life, and culture -- and 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 today's patriarchal, colonial system. Laugh with the legendary Tomson Highway as he illuminates a healing, hilarious way forward."--From publisher.
