The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human by Jonathan Gottschall
1.0
This book is terrible. The topic is so interesting but the execution a disaster.
The author has some very particular prejudices that stood out like a red flag in the beginning, but the true disappointment is the lack of engagement with the subject matter. He flits from concept to concept, gives some opinion or description, a few passages and examples, but never dives into depth in scientific analysis or literary criticism. The book ends up being a lot of padding and rants without any substance.
I would recommend you not read this.
