“The universe is made of stories, not atoms,” poet Muriel Rukeyser memorably asserted, and Harvard sociobiologist E. O. Wilson recently pointed to the similarity between innovators in art and science, both of whom he called “dreamers and storytellers.” Stories aren’t merely essential to how we understand the world — they are how we understand the world. We weave and seek stories everywhere, fromdata visualization to children’s illustration tocultural hegemony. In The Storytelling Animal, educator and science writer Jonathan Gottschall traces the roots, both evolutionary and sociocultural, of the transfixing grip storytelling has on our hearts and minds, individually and collectively. What emerges is a kind of “unified theory of storytelling,” revealing not only our gift for manufacturing truthiness in the narratives we tell ourselves and others, but also the remarkable capacity of stories — the right kinds of them — to change our shared experience for the better.~ Maria Popova
Poe himself later called it "a very silly book". Nevertheless, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket became an influential work, notably for Herman Melville and Jules Verne.

ReplyDeleteThe Giants aren't suicidal at all: merely monstrous. What is killing us is what feeds them. Monster-think is spiritually bankrupt, but voraciously logical. For Big Oil and Energy, producing salable products for entrapped consumers––products that lead to ocean dead zones, species extinction, dying forests, dying citizens, lost democracies, climate refugees, biocide, deicide--is still profitable at the moment. The threat of climate chaos means nothing to a feeding Monster.
