Surprise surprise (it was to me) The Coyote Road: Trickster Tales has been out in trade paperback since January 8th. So if you haven't already bought it in hardcover, consider buying it for the very cheap price of $10.99 now.

The book has had three stories nominated for the Nebula Award, one for the World Fantasy Award, and the anthology itself was nominated for the World Fantasy Award.

I bought the hardcover a couple of months ago and have been trying to work my way through it slowly. Why slowly? I don't want it to end!

On a side note, I've been seeing the trade paperback since several weeks ago and it looks lovely.

I already have the hardcover, but maybe I'll grab this one too and give it to a friend. It inspired me to finish my own trickster-themed short, which was also coincidentally the first thing I managed to sell, so I've got a sentimental attachment to it.

"The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park After the Change" gets me all verklempt every single time. It's uncanny.

Really loved this anthology. It honestly never occurred to me that Bugs Bunny was a trickster. Great intro and great collection. I hope you do another trickster collection somewhere up the road. Just great stuff.

So nice to hear that.

To tell you the truth, I've always hated Bugs Bunny yet loved Tweety Pie, who is also a trickster. :-)

I love tweety (old school he was SO crazy :) ). However, no one was a cunning as classic Daffy Duck.

Truthfully, I loved all the looney tunes though. There was something special about all of them. Sylvestor the Clown, Wile E the tragic hero. Even the Crusher :).

Favorites in the collection though? Charles De Lint's piece was nice, but I think my favorite was the wager with the PT Barnum like trickster and the near eastern counterpart. One of the cleverest stories in there.(The name escapes me as I'm in a lab right now writing.)
