Отрывок из книги
FOR MATTHEW
WHO SNEAKED HOME AT DAWN
.....
One thing draws together these various readings: in each, Raven comes down to this world. “Raven Becomes Voracious” is a story of descent. In heaven there are beings who do not eat; in this lower world of stomachs and fish there are mortals who eat constantly. The trickster Raven is a mixture, the shining boy plus appetite, a being of considerable power who is unable to satiate his hunger. Trickster makes the world, gives it sunlight, fish, and berries, but he makes it “as it is,” a world of constant need, work, limitation, and death.
