Re: contemporary Trickster fiction
Here are a few I thought of:
Ursula Le Guin
"Buffalo Girls Won't You Come Out Tonight" (short story)
female coyote/trickster god
Charles de Lint
Jack the Giant Killer (novel)
Kerevan (aka Jack Gooseberry)
Warner Brothers and Mel Blanc
Bugs Bunny
now THERE is a trickster!!!!!
David Shannon
The David Books
- No, David!
- David Goes To School
- David Gets In Trouble
- Oh, David!
- Oops!
- David Smells!
I don't know if David would be considered a traditional trickster (more like an out-of-control-monster-child), but man, I LOVE reading about the next bit of trouble he gets himself into!
William Shakespeare
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
Puck!
Michael Pillar
"Star Trek - The Next Generation"
Q (he claims, of and on, that he is more of a god than an alien)
Alan Moore
Superman Comic Books
"Mr. Mxyztplk"
an imp from the fifth dimension who torments Superman. Recently, he was even seen on an episode of "Smallville" messing with poor Clark Kent's football game.
Charles de Lint
Forests of the Heart (novel)
Aunt Nancy, based on Anansi - west African trickster god
J.M. Barrie
Peter Pan Stories
Tinkerbell (always causing trouble!)
