Given the chance, I’d spend the next 5 years researching the role of Tricksters across history and what they say about the society they emerge from. As an agent of change, they are reviled by autocrats and admired by the oppressed.

Whether it’s Loki, Maui, Anansi, The Cat in the Hat, or Ferris Bueller, they break rules and puncture egos. But it’s whether the society deifies or demonises the Trickster that really interests me. Do monotheistic societies get held back by a lack of innovation inspired by Trickster tales?
