Opis

What is the "Mytharc", how did it arise, and how does it inform modern long-form storytelling? How does the classical hero's journey intersect with modern myth and narrative? And where might the storytelling of tomorrow take readers and viewers as we imagine our future? This study explores our modern storytelling mythology and where it may lead us.
