Storytelling in the Digital Age

Through a professional story-teller's sometimes humorous commentary on culture and literature from The Odyssey on, Storytelling in the Digital Age suggests that literature is not an artifact to be studied but a living process. Often irreverent, crossing literary and scholarly lines, W.S. Penn aims to discover what literature does for an imaginatively engaged reader. Aimed to amuse, provoke, and propose ideas, this book makes bold new statements about what it means to be human through an interrogation of a variety of stories told and re-told over thousands of years.

W. S. Penn is Distinguished Faculty in the Deptartment of English, Michigan State University, USA. He recently won a Distinguished Faculty Award from Michigan State University, USA and has won an American Book Award, the North American Indian Prose Award, a Critics' Choice Award, and the Stephen Crane Prize for Fiction.
