My favorite thing about what i do is getting to understand the stories behind the stories. If if i could change anything about my life, it would be somehow to magically create space and time. I don't actually think any of us a have the sort of time we need to be the full people that we are. My life became much easier when, even though i'm a mythologist, i my life became easier when i begin to understand that my life didn't boil down to a job description. And so for me, you know, it's not uncommon, but i would just have more time to delve even more deeply into the things i'm curious about. Book wormery is like
Superhero movies. Bastardized fairy tales. The psychology of celebrity. Star Wars. And yes, some ancient Greek and Roman myths. Professional mythologist and screenwriting consultant John Bucher spins some yarns and unravels some mysteries behind what makes a good story, and why we so desperately need them. Also: rethinking your own life's narrative and gaining a greater appreciation for Elvira. Trust me.
