MYTH MAKING by Maureen Murdock

by: Maureen Murdock

The author is renowned for writing the classic Heroine’s Journey and likewise this is a book that draws on Jungian perspectives from an experienced therapist. Where does our personal story fit into the bigger picture and the wider currents of human experience? It’s also a practical book on therapeutic memoir writing and she explores other classics of the genre, including Terry Tempest Williams’s Refuge and Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking. Like myth, memoir reveals a unity to human experience and that ultimately we all share similar hopes, dreams and desires as well as fears, losses and heartbreaks. Memoir helps writers understand the trajectory of their lives and helps readers better grasp their place within the human experience. What does our journey consist of? This book will help us find out.
