Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A project of epic proportions, pulled off with remarkable elan.Kirkus ReviewsA gripping expose of deception, cult power, and the long shadow of Carlos Castaneda, the man behind the biggest literary hoax of the twentieth century.Twenty years in the making, American Trickster: The Hidden Lives of Carlos Castaneda unravels the story of the secretive faux-anthropologist who pulled off one of the greatest literary hoaxes in modern history. Both an investigation of the techniques employed by charismatic narcissists and a study of the cult dynamics that still shape American life, American Trickster defies conventional biography. It emerges as a chilling allegory for the Trump era, a trenchant critique of academias complicity in distorting and erasing Indigenous culture, and a deep dive into the mechanics of New Age spiritual abuse.Carlos Castaneda, born in Peru in 1925, fled to the U.S. in 1951, escaping responsibility for a child he fathered with a thirteen-year-old girl. He changed his name repeatedly, worked as a taxi driver, studied creative writing, and eventually enrolled in anthropology at UCLA in 1959. In 1968, the University of California Press published his first book, The Teachings of Don Juan, which described his supposed encounters with a Yaqui shaman who initiated him into a secret world of peyote-fueled visions and ancient knowledge never before shared with a Westerner.Castaneda was quickly hailed as a revolutionary figure. Admirers ranged from John Lennon and Joni Mitchell to Federico Fellini, George Lucas, and Octavio Paz. His books became international bestsellers and remain the most popular titles ever published on Native American spiritualitydespite having little to no connection to actual Indigenous practices.For a time, his truth went unchallenged. Then, in 1973, Time magazine published a searing expose revealing that Castaneda wasnt who he claimed to be. As his academic credibility unraveled, he turned inward, building a secretive spiritual group that blurred the line between fiction and reality. Castanedas followers, mostly women, became living extensions of the characters in his booksdevoted disciples who often abandoned their former lives entirely.By the 1990s, as book sales declined, the group emerged publicly, offering workshops and seminars to thousands across the globe. When Castaneda was diagnosed with liver cancer, he told his disciples he would not die, but burn from within and ascend to another realmand invited them to join him. After his death in 1998, five of his closest female followers vanished. They are widely believed to have taken their own lives.

"It's the same kind of story, that seems to come down from long ago. Two friends having coffee together, when something flies by their window . . . They say there's a place down in Mexico [!!!] where a man can fly over mountains and hills. And he don't need an airplane or some kind of engine, and he never will. Now you know it's a meaningless question, to ask if those stories are right . . . "Well, I dunno 'bout that.
