Trip to the Moon

To command narrative is to control a sometimes frightening power. What is it that turbocharges some tales, and how is it possible to harness that potency? John Yorke's groundbreaking bestseller, 'Into the Woods', revolutionised our understanding of story structure. 'Trip to the Moon' delves deeper - into how to put that structure to work in the world. This book takes us on a journey not just through drama and fiction but through politics, religion and non-western narrative, to seek out the role of story in all our lives, examining how to utilise its lessons to create life-changing tales - and, in a world aflame with conspiracy theories, to guard ourselves against their darker purpose too.
