RE: Is Cultural Overproduction Killing Story Structure?
Nice to meet you @winstonalden. I was born in 87 and I feel guilty for watching anything that wasn't made to last. So much of our entertainment is made to capture our attention and then be forgotten. I really enjoy circular story telling like American Indian authors. The book “House Made of Dawn” is one of my all time favorites.
I think about this a lot, actually--there's so much culture that's endured over the past 300 years (just to stick with stuff in reasonably modern language, for example) that I could never catch up with it all. So why waste time on stuff that was written in this century? But then I wonder if I'm missing out on contemporary culture...
Thanks for the tip!
