SEDUCED BY STORY - PETER BROOKS KARTONIERT (TB)

In this spiritual sequel to his influential Reading for the Plot  Peter Brooks examines the
dangerously alluring power of storytelling. There s nothing in the world more powerful than a
good story. Nothing can stop it. Nothing can defeat it. So begins the scholar and literary
critic Peter Brooks s reckoning with today s flourishing cult of story. Forty years after
publishing his seminal work Reading for the Plot  his important contribution to what came to be
known as the narrative turn in contemporary criticism and philosophy  Brooks returns to
question the unquestioning fashion in which story is now embraced as an excuse or explanation
and the fact that every brand or politician comes equipped with one. In a discussion that
ranges from The Girl on the Train to legal argument  Brooks reminds us that among the powers of
narrative is the power to deceive.
