Review of 'Homo Narrans' on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

Some compelling ideas on narrativity being at the core of our humanity and moreover that storytelling is the source of all society. The book is heavily concerned with poetics and details of the performance, so highly sociological and only nods a little to narratology as a very different field of study.
