The Great Mountain

When I set out to write this book I wanted to have a central storyline because I feel like stories are much more accessible to people. The beginning story is one section of that story that he told which is a classic Grimm's fairy tale and it's the central metaphor for the book. Robert Bly who wrote a book called Iron John where he did something similar where he took a storyline and then used that story as a metaphor for the challenges modern men have in the world.
