I was pretty disappointed by the stories as well, but there were a few good ones. My favorites were "The Fiddler of Bayou Techem" by Delia Sherman and "The Constable of Abal" by Kelly Link.
Those ones were really good.
I also really liked "Realer Than You" by Christopher Barzak, "God Clown" by Carol Emshwiller, "The Dreaming Wind" by Jeffrey Ford and "The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park after the Change" by Kij Johnson -- but I am fans of all those authors. =D
But, yeah, I was pretty disappointed by some of the other stories. Who knew trickster tales could be so dull?
