It will sing to you. When I first read Hero, right after being introduced to Joseph in high school the idea of monomythic structure made complete sense to me; how could it be any other way?<BR/><BR/>After reading Hero, read The Hero's Journey, if you haven't already. It's Joseph on Joseph and make for wonderful insight on the man and his life contributions... and you've got to read Thou Art That as well. <BR/><BR/>He led a life only a few could ever dream possible, working with brilliant, brilliant scholars and rockstars, equally at home. I especially delight in his love for his wife and her artist expressions in dance.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy Hero and let me know what you think. Every time I pick it up I get chill bumps.<BR/><BR/>Stephen Larsen and Robin Larsen wrote a wonderful biography on Joseph called A Fire In The Mind... where they describe his early adult summers (he really was privileged to be able to summer as he did) spent reading book after book after book, forming his ideas and glimpsing into the mysterious. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy!isaiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704507894213178186noreply@blogger.com
