“The mythic imagination”, Martin Shaw has said, “is not just about telling stories, it's about creating a new story for our time, in relationship with the larger forces that shape our lives.”
Memories can also be thought of as dreamlike. They’re more a romantic story than a faithful document of a life event. And there’s good content to be found in these dreamy recollections we have of past experiences.

We want surprise and suspense, but we also crave order and closure. The artistry of the mystery box is in the balance: give away too much and we’re bored, give away too little and we’re lost.
