{"product_id":"9781916637276","title":"The Loki Variations : The Man, the Myth, the Mischief - Karl Johnson","description":"Reconsider all you know about Loki, the iconic mercurial trickster god of Norse mythology and contemporary pop culture fame. Loki, ever the shapeshifter, is constantly being remade and reinterpreted. A central character in Norse mythology, the trickster god is also a pop culture icon, appearing in countless offshoots and interpretations across media, now most evident as Tom Hiddleston in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films and TV shows. Each iteration offers a new layer to the character we've come to know so well. By exploring contemporary variations of Loki from genderfluid Norse god to anti-hero trickster, Karl Johnson considers the continued role of myths in the twenty-first century-through fandom, ritual, queer theory, and popular culture. He invites readers to journey with him as he unpicks his own evolving relationship with Loki, and to ask: Who is your Loki? And what is their glorious purpose?","brand":"Karl Johnson","offers":[{"title":"112 pages \/ 19\/11\/2026 \/ Film, TV \u0026 radio","offer_id":57620812366199,"sku":"9781916637276","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781916637276.jpg?v=1792487347","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781916637276","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
