William Collins The Science of Storytelling: Why Stories Make Us Human, and How to Tell Them Better

Es de lo mejor que he leído para quienes les gusta la narrativa y cómo se escribe.

Interleaves the use of character perception in writing fiction with the science of self perception. Self perception both of our interior world and our model of what’s “out there”.

This book indeed breaks the layers involved in a good story from seemless world building to the dramatic question in a story it discusses all in depth with beautiful examples hence making it a must read for story enthusiasts.

It was more than I expected. On top of giving advices on how to write great stories, this book is riddled with insights on human psychology that are really interesting.I would definitely recommend that book

For my taste, the author's approach is much too wishy-washy and real insights are few and far between. I'd recommend Stephen King's 'On Writing ' or Matt Bell's 'Refuse to Be Done' instead.
