Trickster

What would you do if your world suddenly shifted? How would you cope if the universe stopped making sense and everybody around you lost their minds? Perhaps you'd conclude that you'd become the target of a devious trickster who was messing with your senses and distorting your perception of the world.Trickster is a comic yarn, combining absurd humour and social satire as a logic-loving detective tries to make sense of a world that keeps changing in ridiculous ways. It's also a celebration of the archetype of the trickster, those mischievous pranksters whose antics shine a light on unseen places. Jonathan Gould has lived in Melbourne, Australia all his life, except when he hasn't. He has written comedy sketches for both the theatre and radio, as well as a range of published works for both adults and children.His stories can be a bit tricky to describe. You may think of them as comic fantasies, or modern fairytales for the young and the young at heart. He likes to surprise and delight readers, to make them smile and laugh, and occasionally even shed a tear.Over the years, his stories have been shortlisted in a number of writing competitions, and his writing has been compared to Douglas Adams, Monty Python, A.A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, the Goons, Dr Seuss, Terry Pratchett, and even Enid Blyton (in a good way).
