The Science of Storytelling Why Stories Make Us Human and How to Tell Them Better edition by Will Storr Reference eBooks Reviews

• I had been eagerly anticipating Will Storr's new book, after reading the marvellous "Selfie" (a vivid, frank discussion of the cult of self-esteem, enriched by detailed political analyses and enlivened by wonderful anecdotes which brought well-known figures like Ayn Rand to life). This didn't disappoint. This is part wonderful romp through literature—the quotations and excerpts have been meticulously curated and are read with extraordinary thespian skill—part psychology, part neuroscience and part anthropology. You will love it, even if you aren't looking for writing advice. It will leave you with a new appreciation of literature. And, if you are looking for writing advice, you will find it invaluable. As always, Storr manages to both range widely AND go deep. And what an enjoyably chameleonic voice! Highly recommended.
