He aims to show how an expert storyteller uses structural elements - image, rhythm, and narrative - to shape a story's fundamental emotional content. Review Story is as sound and original a piece of scholarship as we have been waiting for in the study of oral narrative performance. . . .written by one of the best scholars who have anything to say on the subject of storytelling.
