Myth-Building in Modern Media

The Role of the Mytharc in Imagined Worlds

By: A.J. Black

Mythology for centuries has served as humanity's window into understanding its distant past. In our modern world, storytelling creates its own myths and legends, in media ranging from the world of television and cinema to literature and comic books, that help us make sense of the world we live in today. What is the "Mytharc"? How did it arise? How does it inform modern long-form storytelling? How does the classical hero's journey intersect with modern myths and narratives? And where might the storytelling of tomorrow take readers and viewers as we imagine our future? From The X-Files to H.P. Lovecraft, from Lost to the Marvel cinematic universe and many worlds beyond, this study explores our modern storytelling mythology and where it may lead us.

Just Enough Liebling

Just Enough Liebling

Classic Work by the Legendary New Yorker Writer

By: A. J. Liebling

The restaurants of the Latin Quarter and the city rooms of midtown Manhattan; the beachhead of Normandy and the boxing gyms of Times Square; the trackside haunts of bookmakers and the shadowy redoubts of Southern politicians--these are the places that A.J. Liebling shows to us in his unforgettable New Yorker articles, brought together here so that a new generation of readers might discover Liebling as if for the first time. Born a hundred years ago, Abbott Joseph "Joe" Liebling was the first of the great New Yorker writers, a colorful and tireless figure who helped set the magazine's urbane style. Today, he is best known as a celebrant of the "sweet science" of boxing or as a "feeder" who ravishes the reader with his descriptions of food and wine. But as David Remnick, a Liebling devotee, suggests in his fond and insightful introduction, Liebling was a writer bounded only by his intelligence, taste, and ardor for life. Like his nemesis William Randolph Hearst, he changed the rules of modern journalism, banishing the distinctions between reporting and storytelling, between news and art. Whatever his role, Liebling is a most companionable figure, and to read the pieces in this grand and generous book is to be swept along on a thrilling adventure in a world of confidence men, rogues, press barons and political cronies, with an inimitable writer as one's guide.

The Successor

By: A.J. Conway

A rich and powerful family, struck by tragedy, gathers in a lawyer's office to hear the announcements of their late father's will. Of the five candidates in the room, it seems perfectly obvious who will inherit the company and be named the sole successor of a substantial fortune. But instead of cheques, the potential heirs are each given envelopes. Instead of the keys to an empire, they are handed cryptic clues pertaining to a bizarre and twisted treasure hunt, designed by their father to test them. This trial of brotherhood and sisterhood will likely end in bloodshed. Travis Madden, a mathematical prodigy, did not expect to find himself caught up in a rat-race, but his expertise in codes and number patterns makes him the unlikely key to finding a dead man's lost fortune. Driven by the need to protect a young heiress from her murderous family, Travis must follow the clues and solve the puzzles before this dangerous game of greed and power consumes them all. There can only be one successor.

The Stars Look Down

A Novel

By: AJ Cronin

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Stars Look Down

A Novel

By: AJ Cronin

This thought-provoking novel of the challenges a coal mining community faces in the early twentieth century is “the finest work Cronin has given his public” (Kirkus Reviews). First published in 1935, The Stars Look Down tells the story of a North Country mining town as its inhabitants make their way through social and political upheaval. Digging into workers’ rights, social change, and the relationship between labor and capitalism, the struggles of the novel’s trifecta of protagonists—politically minded miner David Fenwick, ambitious drifter Joe Gowlan, and frustrated yet meek mining-baron’s son Arthur Barras—remain compelling and relevant to readers in the twenty-first century. AJ Cronin’s tale is one of many of the hardships of coal-mining communities during the industrial pre-war, World War I, and interwar periods in Britain, but stands out for its unflinching prose, universal themes, and keen storytelling. The novel was adapted into a 1940 film starring Michael Redgrave as Davey Fenwick, is a New York Times Critics’ Pick, and is included in the New York Times Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made.
