Lewis Hyde offers a ferociously fascinating take on the essential craft that tricksters offer humanity: their trickery and thievery works the joints that hold our world together, and keep it flexible in ways that would otherwise be impossible. He draws connections between mistletoe, Frederick Douglass, Norse mythology, John Cage, Prometheus, Hermes, Aristotle and others.

We all want richness and meaning in our everyday lives; this six-day conference in September is a unique opportunity to speak honestly in a community of men.
