- catalog abstract "The myth which forms the basis of Dr Radin's study is one of the most imaginative narratives known. It concerns the exploits of a grotesque individual whose main physical features are enormous digestive and sexual organs and who unites in himself some of the traits of a god, an animal, and a human being. Primarily his activities, over which has no conscious control, represent attempts to dupe others, yet actually always recoil upon himself. He is cruel, obscene and possessed of a voracious appetite which he is never permitted to satisfy. Creator and destroyer, affırmer and negator at one and the same time, his activities finally result in the transformation of himself into something approximating a human being. The figure of Trickster is of tremendous historical and psychological importance for an understanding of ourselves. As Dr. Jung suggests in his foreword, Trickster is the symbol of the unconscious and undifferentiated in man. That is why he is represented as being everything to everyman--god, animal, human being, hero, buffoon, he who antedates all values, good and evil.--From publisher description.".
