beautifully lyrical masterwork.' SFX MAGAZINE'a mischievous,
unpredictable and clever book that breathes new life into an
already fascinating character and godly race.' CULTUREFLYStep into
the ancient fir-tree forests of Scandinavia and bear witness to
legends as epic as those of the Greeks and the Romans.Melvin
Burgess revolutionised children's literature with the infamous cult
novels Junk and Doing It. In his first adult novel, Loki, he
breathes new life into Norse myths. Starting with the Norse
creation myths, the trickster god Loki takes the reader on a wild
ride through Norse mythology, from the time the gods - the founders
of Asgard - defeated races of monsters, and hurtling through famous
stories, including Odin hanging himself on the World Tree, the
theft of the corrupting gold ring and the murder of Baldr, the god
of love and the Sun.This narrative may seem familiar enough at
first, but the reader should beware. Born within the heart of a
fire in the hollow of a tree-trunk, Loki arrives in Asgard as an
outsider. He is a trickster, an unreliable narrator, the god of
intelligence and politics.In spite of his cleverness and sparkling
wit (or, perhaps, because of this...) Loki struggles to find his
place among the old patriarchal gods of supernatural power and is
constantly at odds with the god of thunder - Thor. Alongside the
politics of Asgard, it charts the course of Loki's many loves and
families, from his mothering of Odin's famous horse to his intense,
turbulent, and, eventually, fatal relationship with Baldr the
Beautiful - a tender and moving story of love that goes wrong,
jealousy and a transitioning that is forbidden by society. This is
a retelling that is contemporary in tone, at once amusing and
relatable.It is a heartfelt plea to overthrow the old gods of power
and authority and instigate a new era ruled by love and
intelligence.
