Fantasy Literature and its Importance in Culture
from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie
Last week, I talked about how stories can draw us into a and can help us elicit memories and feelings that border on fantasy. This week, I continue talking about what fantasy is about. Historically, fantasy has been looked down on, but I think fantasy has much to offer the literature and people in general. Here is one very interesting book about fantasy, but it is a little long:https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=RVOtAwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PP6&dq=fantasy+fiction&ots=OC_tD4-V35&sig=p2jVnNMc_71Lgs6fbWR8PdQ2OFw#v=onepage&q=fantasy%20fiction&f=falseAnd here are a couple more articles that I drew ideas from:http://www.abc.net.au/health/features/stories/2014/05/06/3998712.htmhttp://www.ursulakleguin.com/SomeAssumptionsAboutFantasy.html)Check out my website at www.danielpoppie.com and if you would like a free copy of my book, I said that it would be available for free now, but it will be available for free the first week it is out:https://www.amazon.com/Ninth-Hour-Memoriam-Book-ebook/dp/B07F7M8H9F/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1531181499&sr=8-1&keywords=daniel+poppie
