One of the Best Books on Storytelling In Print,
By
This review is from: Suddenly They Heard Footsteps: Storytelling for the Twenty-first Century (Paperback)
Dan Yashinsky,who has done as much as anyone to help the resurgence of storytelling in the last 30 years, has written a tender, beautifully crafted and amazingly informative book on the subject. Tracing his life's growing love of the craft, he shines light on the roles of the storyteller in society from the "storm fools" who brought news of the world to the isolated people of the arctic to the health worker, using stories to heal physical and psychic pain.
Last, but not least is the inclusion of some of Dan's most well-known tales, including the beloved story cycle, "The Storyteller at Fault." For storytellers and story-lovers, "Suddenly We Heard Footsteps" ranks with Ruth Sawyer's "The Way of the Storyteller" and Joseph Sobel's "The Storyteller's Journey" as an entry to this ancient and always contemporary oral art. |
