Gerald Vizenor is Professor of Native American Studies at the University of California (Berkley). He has been described by LaVonne Brown Ruoff as a "compassionate trickster", a "formidable warrior in the word wars", a superb storyteller, and a keen observer of our often hypocritical modern society. Topics covered include further discussion on the "Trickster", the nature of violence, "shadow words", Vizenor's definition of what constitutes a meaningful question, and why an author's response to a question often takes the form of a story.
