These Mischievous Legends Are Shaping Modern Literature in Surprising Ways

Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast

We began this literary podcast episode by welcoming listeners into April with a playful nod to April Fool's Day. This theme paved the way for our new monthly focus: tricksters and fools in literature. Meaghan and Arthur introduced this concept by discussing how these characters appear in stories across the globe and throughout history.We explored how tricksters often challenge societal norms through cleverness, mischief, and rule-bending behavior. From mythical gods to fairytale creatures, these figures have captivated readers and listeners for centuries.The hosts announced that April's episodes would focus on examining tricksters through various cultural lenses, exploring their evolution from oral storytelling traditions to their presence in modern literature. We emphasized that tricksters are not a recent invention but rather a long-standing narrative archetype found in myths, legends, and folk tales around the world.These characters use their intelligence and cunning to manipulate situations, often with humorous or chaotic outcomes. We framed this theme as both fascinating and fun, promising a deeper dive into specific examples as the month progresses.Origins of the Trickster ArchetypeOnce we launched into the heart of the discussion, we clarified what defines a trickster. Tricksters are beings - sometimes gods, spirits, or animals - that defy expectations and operate outside the usual rules. They often disrupt the established order, using their intellect and creativity to challenge norms. These characters aren't always malicious; sometimes, they are simply playful or seek to illuminate hidden truths.We explored how tricksters are morally ambiguous and boundary-pushing, which can make them simultaneously entertaining and unsettling.We then turned to cultural interpretations of tricksters, beginning with First Nations folklore. Figures like Coyote and Raven are often humorous pranksters, but their stories also carry deeper spiritual or philosophical lessons. We discussed how laughter and humor are considered important in many Indigenous cultures, as they can cleanse the soul and precede prayer.The tales passed down orally were sometimes used to explain natural phenomena or convey moral teachings.From there, we moved into how these oral traditions transitioned into written stories. We noted that many of the myths and folktales that feature tricksters were eventually documented, preserving them for future generations. This shift allowed trickster characters to become part of broader literary traditions. Meaghan and Arthur reflected on how grateful we are that so many cultures made the effort to record these tales, preventing them from fading into obscurity.Tricksters Across Cultures and BooksThe next section of the conversation focused on specific trickster figures across various mythologies and how they've persisted or evolved.Loki from Norse mythology was our launching point. We highlighted his popularity - particularly due to Marvel's portrayal - and his complicated personality. Sometimes, Loki is a playful trickster; other times, he's more malicious. His ability to shapeshift and deceive is core to his character, and Arthur brought up The Gospel of Loki by Joanne Harris as a unique retelling from Loki's sarcastic perspective.Next, we examined Anansi, the spider trickster from African folklore. Anansi's confidence in his wit often becomes his downfall, demonstrating the moral lessons embedded in many of his tales. On the European front, we touched on the fair folk from Celtic mythology - small, mischievous beings who have evolved in modern media into something quite different, like the fae in fantasy novels.In Japanese mythology, we discussed the kitsune, fox spirits known for shapeshifting and disregarding societal rules. We also talked about trickster characters in North American folklore, including Brer Rabbit - a clever figure from African American traditions used to critique power structures through wit. Dionysus from Greek mythology and Hermes (or Mercury in Roman tales) were also identified as possessing trickster qualities through shapeshifting and manipulation.One particularly fun character mentioned was Stingy Jack from old All Hallows' Eve stories, said to have inspired the modern jack-o'-lantern. We highlighted how many of these characters, even those with niche or local origins, have had a lasting impact due to the universality of their themes and appeal.Why Tricksters Still Resonate In LiteratureIn the final section of our conversation, we considered why tricksters continue to appear in contemporary literature and media. Meaghan and Arthur pointed out that these characters allow writers to critique institutions, traditions, and authority figures without being overly direct. Historically, jesters were the only ones allowed to mock kings without consequence, and tricksters have inherited that role in fiction.We explored how trickster characters often serve as unreliable narrators, adding complexity and unpredictability to narratives. This perspective allows authors to disrupt traditional storytelling, injecting surprise and challenging the reader's assumptions. Characters like Loki, the Joker, and the Cheshire Cat exemplify this method, each adding an element of chaos or philosophical questioning to their stories.We agreed that people enjoy reading about characters who operate outside the norm - especially those who use cunning to succeed rather than brute strength. The enduring popularity of myths and fairy tales demonstrates our ongoing fascination with the fantastical and the morally gray.Meaghan made a point about how supernatural elements like magic provide narrative freedom, allowing authors to use tricksters in unexpected ways. Arthur added that even when tricksters aren't explicitly supernatural, their rebellious nature makes them compelling. In some cases, these characters start as tricksters and evolve into villains, depending on their motivations and how far they take their rule-breaking.Book Recommendations and Closing ThoughtsTo wrap up, we offered several book recommendations that feature trickster figures. These included:Rumpelstiltskin, the classic Grimm fairy tale with a dark deal and clever escape.Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream, who mischievously meddles with human affairs to comedic effect.Greengrass Running Water by Thomas King, which features the coyote trickster in a narrative that breaks the fourth wall.Trickster: Native American Tales, a graphic anthology that includes various trickster figures from multiple tribes.The Joker as a modern trickster-turned-villain archetype in comic books.Fool by Christopher Moore, a humorous retelling of King Lear from the fool's perspective.We wrapped up the episode by emphasizing that tricksters are present in stories from every culture. They challenge conventions, blur the line between right and wrong, and often act as mirrors to societal values. While we only scratched the surface in this introductory episode, we plan to dive deeper into unreliable narrators and modern-day tricksters in upcoming installments.

Sean Howe - Thomas King Forçade - AGENTS OF CHAOS - High Times & the Paranoid End of the 1970sSep 27, 2023Sean Howe joins Ed Opperman to discuss his book, Agents of Chaos, which focusses in on the legendary iconic, revolutionary publication High Times.The life and times of High Times'  enigmatic founder Thomas King Forçade, an underground newspaper editor  and marijuana kingpin who—between police raids, smuggling runs, and  outrageous stunts—battled both the US government and fellow radicals.At  the end of the 1960s, the mysterious Tom Forçade suddenly appeared,  insinuating himself into the top echelons of countercultural politics  and assuming control of the Underground Press Syndicate, a coalition of  newspapers across the country. Weathering government surveillance and  harassment, he embarked on a landmark court battle to obtain White House  press credentials. But his audacious exploits—pieing Congressional  panelists, stealing presidential portraits, and picking fights with  other activists—led to accusations that he was an agent provocateur.As  the era of protest faded and the dark shadows of Watergate spread,  Forçade hoped that marijuana could be the path to cultural and economic  revolution. Bankrolled by drug-dealing profits, High Times would be the Playboy of pot, dragging a once-taboo subject into the mainstream. The magazine  was a travelogue of globe-trotting adventure, a wellspring of news  about “the business,” and an overnight success. But High Times soon threatened to become nothing more than the “hip capitalism”  Forçade had railed against for so long, and he felt his enemies closing  in.Assembled from exclusive interviews, archived correspondences, and declassified documents, Agents of Chaos is a tale of attacks on journalism, disinformation campaigns,  governmental secrecy, corporatism, and political factionalism. Its  triumphs and tragedies mirror the cultural transformations of 1970s  America, wrought by forces that continue to clash in the spaces between  activism and power.------------------Sean Howe is an American journalist and writer.

Shoot us a Text.We're live from Lafayette Indiana to start recording the second season of More Than Cars! Today, we're running through the latest industry data from J.D. Power, pushing back against an article from the Verge that suggests Scout is doing “exactly what customers want”, and how Apple is innovating with its advertisements.Show Notes with links:J.D. Power's preliminary October data reveals that while auto loan interest rates have dipped, monthly payments on new vehicles continue to climb, driven by reduced trade-in values.The average interest rate for new-vehicle loans fell to 6.7%, down from 7.4% a year earlier, with monthly payments reaching $738 on average, a 14% increase from October 2023.The average new-vehicle transaction price dropped 1.6% to $44,904, with used vehicles averaging $28,472.Trade-in equity plummeted 10% to $7,909.Cars are spending an average of 50 days on lots, more than double last October's 20 days.Leasing rose to 23% of sales, driven by increased incentive spending, now 6.3% of sticker prices.Thomas King of J.D. Power explained, “This holiday season may require innovative strategies to entice customers into acquiring a new vehicle..”Scout Motors, backed by VW, is embracing a direct-to-consumer model, sidestepping traditional dealers and aiming for a seamless, digital-first sales process. Dealers, however, are already pushing back with legal threats.Scout plans direct sales for its Terra and Traveler EVs, similar to Tesla's approach.CEO Scott Keogh promises a “transparent, super fast, and super easy” buying experience.Relying on an in-house digital platform, Scout bypasses the traditional dealership model.Scout aims to open 25 "Workshops" for service and test drives, plus Scout Studios for sales.“Only through a direct sales model can Scout Motors get a full 360-degree view of the customer,” says VP Cody Thacker.Key: it is clear consumers are getting information about dealers and their lawsuits from external sources and the rhetoric is against dealers.This week, Apple launched two new ads promoting its Apple Intelligence tools. While these quirky ads showcase AI's ability to fix human oversights, some critics argue they highlight a disturbing trend in tech marketing.Ads depict relatable mishaps, like forgetting birthdays, solved effortlessly by AI tools.Directed by ad comedy expert David Shane, the spots add humor but raise questions.Critics say Apple's ads subtly suggest AI as a “cure for the dumb and lazy.”Apple has used tech with heart in past ads, but these seem to replace human effort.“So far, Apple Intelligence is showing us how to construct a false impression of ourselves,” observers note, questioning the underlying message.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Sean Howe - AGENTS OF CHAOS - Thomas King Forçade, High Times & the Paranoid End of the 1970s2 days agoSean Howe joins Ed Opperman to discuss his book, Agents of Chaos, which focusses in on the legendary iconic, revolutionary publication High Times.The life and times of High Times' enigmatic founder Thomas King Forçade, an underground newspaper editor and marijuana kingpin who—between police raids, smuggling runs, and outrageous stunts—battled both the US government and fellow radicals.At the end of the 1960s, the mysterious Tom Forçade suddenly appeared, insinuating himself into the top echelons of countercultural politics and assuming control of the Underground Press Syndicate, a coalition of newspapers across the country. Weathering government surveillance and harassment, he embarked on a landmark court battle to obtain White House press credentials. But his audacious exploits—pieing Congressional panelists, stealing presidential portraits, and picking fights with other activists—led to accusations that he was an agent provocateur.As the era of protest faded and the dark shadows of Watergate spread, Forçade hoped that marijuana could be the path to cultural and economic revolution. Bankrolled by drug-dealing profits, High Times would be the Playboy of pot, dragging a once-taboo subject into the mainstream. The magazine was a travelogue of globe-trotting adventure, a wellspring of news about “the business,” and an overnight success. But High Times soon threatened to become nothing more than the “hip capitalism” Forçade had railed against for so long, and he felt his enemies closing in.Assembled from exclusive interviews, archived correspondences, and declassified documents, Agents of Chaos is a tale of attacks on journalism, disinformation campaigns, governmental secrecy, corporatism, and political factionalism. Its triumphs and tragedies mirror the cultural transformations of 1970s America, wrought by forces that continue to clash in the spaces between activism and power.------------------Sean Howe is an American journalist and writer. He is a former editor at Entertainment Weekly and The Criterion Collection. In 2012, he published the book Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, after interviewing more than 150 people who worked at or were associated with Marvel Comics.

What is petroturfing? What is an energy imaginary? If, as Thomas King says, we are all stories, how can we make sense of which stories are leading us to an understanding of things as they are, rather than misrepresenting reality or persuading us to take a biased view? And what can we do when we learn to critically interpret the world around us? What are some concrete actions we can take as regular folks if we decide that we want to push back against this narrative of “ethical oil” and intervene in the reactionary oil culture war?Dr Jordan Kinder has spent the last decade of his life thinking about these questions, specifically in the context of the Canadian oil industry and Alberta. The result? His new book Petroturfing: Refining Canadian Oil, which covers these topics and more, forthcoming from University of Minnesota Press in spring 2024. Join Ariel and Jordan to learn about the many competing narratives about (and even by!) Canadian oil and gas—including but not limited to being labelled dirty oil, ethical oil, one of the world's leading polluters, an underdog industry under attack, a Canadian success story, the ball and chain around Canada's neck as it tries to avert climate catastrophe, and the list goes on…References:Just Powers Petrocultures Research GroupSolaritiesEnergy HumanitiesKinder, Jordan “Mystifying Oil Today” for HeliotropeKinder, Jordan “Tailings, Unconventional: Sedimented Horizons for More Equitable Energy Futures” for Against CatastropheSocials:Connect with Jordan at jbkinder.github.ioConnect with Solarpunk Presents Podcast on Twitter, Mastodon, or at solarpunkpresents.com.Support the show on Patreon or make a one-time donation via PayPal.

“Stories are wondrous things,” says the writer Thomas King, “And they are dangerous, for once a story is told, it cannot be called back. Once told, it is loose in the world. So you have to be careful with the stories you tell. And you have to watch out for the stories you are told.” Another mass killing of innocent people in America has been perpetrated with an appeal to history. Touting an idea called ‘Replacement Theory,” right-wing political pundits, politicians, and now, again, domestic terrorists have loosed the poisonous story of white nationalism to violently project who they say “we really are as a nation.” No longer limited to the lunatic fringe of racial supremacists, unfiltered white nationalism has found a home in the comfortable lap of the GOP and mainstream conservative media. As we suggest in today's episode, such extremist claims are different only by degree from the long-standing white nationalist, standard mainstream history of the nation. And if we don't immediately recognize that, it is only because the stories we usually tell ourselves, have been carefully formatted as designer memories, safely romanticized for the mainstream understanding of who “we really are as a nation.” No matter how familiar those designer memories may seem, a closer look often reveals them to be born of a checkered past, with stories tailored and curated to serve the needs of certain narrow interests. These designer memories usually involve some variation on the ‘us versus them' story emplotment, a bewildering narrative binary that makes more palatable the nation's long history of violence, war, and domestic terrorism. In other nations as well, that same appeal to an imagined historical exclusivity and ‘us versus them' storyline, has engendered similar pathologies of violence. The national stories we tell ourselves, it would seem, are killing us.
