He just got tired of walking around a mountain, so he pushed it down so he could just continue straight through, for example. He's not malicious, but he does take his pranks too far.
There's a spectrum of tricksters, especially on the West Coast. Our trickster is less benevolent. "Tricksters aren't empathetic, in any way, shape or form. Why it took Eden Robinson eight years to write Son of a Trickster."It gives him strength and eventually leads him to confront the scariest person in his universe."
So at the lowest point in his life, his connections to people are what save him.
"Jared's strength comes from his connections. Robinson spoke with Shelagh Rogers about writing Return of the Trickster. Son of a Trickster was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and was championed on Canada Reads 2020 by actor Kaniehtiio Horn. Robinson is also the author of the novels Monkey Beach, Son of a Trickster and Trickster Drift. But when his power-hungry Aunt Georgina comes to town, it's the beginning of a magical war - with Jared in the middle of it all. His mom, Maggie, is coming to terms with them as well. In Return of the Trickster, Jared is coming to terms with his trickster powers - and with the havoc they create for him and everyone he loves. Mind you, ravens speak to him-even when he's not stoned.Eden Robinson, the award-winning writer from B.C., returns with the anticipated novel Return of the Trickster, the third and final outing in the bestselling Trickster book trilogy. And he puzzles over why his maternal grandmother has never liked him, why she says he's the son of a trickster, that he isn't human. But he struggles to keep everything afloat. Jared is only sixteen but feels like he is the one who must stabilize his family's life, even look out for his elderly neighbours. He can't rely on his dad to pay the bills and support his new wife and step-daughter. Jared can't count on his mom to stay sober and stick around to take care of him. Jared does smoke and drink too much, and he does make the best cookies in town, and his mom is a mess, but he's also a kid who has an immense capacity for compassion and an impulse to watch over people more than twice his age, and he can't rely on anyone for consistent love and support, except for his flatulent pit bull, Baby Killer (he calls her Baby)-and now she's dead. Everyone knows a guy like Jared: the burnout kid in high school who sells weed cookies and has a scary mom who's often wasted and wielding some kind of weapon.
