Review of 'The Storytelling Animal' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Contrary to what might be expected, the author focuses not as much on "artistic" fiction, but rather on the way it it is necessary for human mind to make up a story and live it, from dreams to personal identity.

My only complaint is that each topic is given no more than cursory overview, but still, that is enough to get a general picture.
