A fascinating read and one can’t help be convinced by Yorke’s theories on stories and why we tell them. It comes down to “the journey into the woods… Finding of the missing part, it’s retrieval and the making of something while, is integral. That something can be us, a puzzle, a mystery, or… corruptions.
Two opposites are assimilated and a conflict is stilled. We crave stories like a drug. For it is in story, we are able to bring our inner selves into line with the external world. Some kind of sense is made, and if we’re lucky, some kind of truth discovered.”
I’d recommend this book to everyone who loves story, either in TV, film, theatre, poetry or fiction. A riveting read backed up examples from TV and film.
