. . . coherent and interesting, complex but accessible. * CHOICE *
An extraordinary analysis, of our rock-bottom humanity, our effort to figure out who we are through narrative-a brilliant and knowing story, really, about who we are who tell and attend stories. The author walks comfortably, judiciously through the terrain of history, literature, photography, psychoanalytic psychology, and does so on our behalf through his clear, compelling voice. -- Robert Coles, Harvard University
A fabulously well-informed look . . . of story-telling across the centuries from ancient drama to contemporary TV. . . . Provocative, fascinating and intellectually enriching. -- RWB Lewis, Yale University
