Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
This is an accelerating comedy with shadows setting off the wry, polished humor. Trickster deities thrive on contrariety, which is why one finds them bringing life into dead landscapes and disorder into order. A Santa Barbara insurance salesman's too-tidily-contained lifestyle, far from the Crow reservation he grew up on, is an irresistible target for Coyote, who wants to make sure his chosen people don't forget him. Coyote descends on Sam Hunter like one of Job's plagues, albeit a charmingly disingenuous one. "Why me? Why not someone who believes?" asks Sam, suffering from god-induced chaos. "This is more fun," says Coyote. He's right.

From Booklist
Old Man Coyote, an ancient Native American god known as the trickster, is back and better than ever--and up to no good, at least not if he can help it. He arrives in the form of a handsome, buckskinned Indian to wreak havoc in the life of Sam Hunter, a successful insurance agent with a carefully controlled life (and a carefully hidden past). One day Sam spots a beautiful woman getting into her car and admires her; suddenly Coyote is there to toss Sam into the middle of drug running, "kitchen pals" Buddhism, bikers, Las Vegas, true love, and death. Moore's writing is fresh and funny, and his spin on Coyote is delightful--the trickster, though well disguised, is still impishly capable of causing trouble (and teaching us how to look at life). Effectively mixing the mythic and the modern, Moore intersperses contemporary trickster tales with the comic saga of Sam's evolution from his early life in Montana as Crow Indian Samson Hunts Alone through his yuppie period to his life-changing encounter with Coyote.

Before I encountered this book, I thought I already knew all about Coyote, the trickster god of the Native Americans. He's the one who sticks out his foot and trips you once you've hit your stride. He's the one who turns up the heat in your comfort zone until he blasts you out. Moore puts a spin on him, however, that gave me a lot of fresh material to think about. There is something in this book that will appeal to everyone--satire, humor galore, love of all sorts, Las Vegas, bikers, a traveling miracle salesman, a Crow shaman who wonders himself if his visions are in fact now actually the D.T.'s--and last but not least, Sam Hunter (nee Samson Hunts Alone)who thought he'd already found himself until Coyote came along. In a rut? Read this book. You'll find yourself looking forward to having your world turned upside down.

Christopher Moore is my favorite author and this is probably his best work. "Coyote Blue" on the surface is an excellent suspense and love story. But as you peel back the layers upon layers, you find deeper meaning. The Trickster is alive and well and easily recognized in many people we know and Mr. Moore made this harsh reality visible and funny. How can you not love a book with magic, faith restored, life renewed, true love conquering all, and a coyote humping a white leather sofa. <G> It has it all! The storytelling is done by the master and the humor is unrelenting as the trickster weaves his tale. A must read book! I really did laugh out loud through most of it and cried at least once. I just can't say enough about this book. Except, if you read it, you will thank me! I loved every carefully chosen word.

It seems this author started out as a well kept secret and is becoming the darling of the literary crowd - at least on the Internet! If you haven't read Coyote Blue, you'd better step it up. This is a book for everyone. Well researched, its philosophy is shrouded in serendipitous whimsey and moments of down right, laugh out loud, humor. Moore juxtaposes Native American Folk Lore against the crass gawdiness of American materialism, sending a culture clash reverberation that will stir your soul and evoke your laughter. Even intellectual curmedgeons have been caught guffawing over this one. Consider it your gift giving solution for 1997

Didn't hate it, didn't love it
I bought this because some people compared it to Tom Robbin's great books which are intelligent and thought-provoking and hilarious. Not even close. Lesen Sie weiter...

Quite a journey
Coyote, all instinct and nerve, is that mystical voice we sometimes hear, but often ignore. Moore's ability to shape a story is very impressive and while comparisons to Tom... Lesen Sie weiter...

Really good
Moore doesn't have the bite or focus of Vonnegut but he is still darn good.

A wild ride!
Thoroughly enjoyable. Funny with a bit of sadness. It's a wild ride through the life of Sam Hunter.

A well-crafted, hilarious book: a "keeper."
Moore is an excellent writer with what I hope will be a long, long life and career in front of him. His work is contagious. Read it.

outrageously funny, yet morally relevant
I bought the book because I was intrigued by the cover. Laughed out loud while reading it, and was sorry when it ended. Lesen Sie weiter...
