Description
xA tour of modern literature and film, looking for insights, ideas, and wisdom. Story-telling is chock-full of it: insights that are very serious, and others less so; some that are funny, and some that are quite poignant. So much effort and so much money have been spent in modern times to create story, that the end result is nothing less than a gold mine of vital ideas and insights, into humanity and life. The book is a collection of about 500 short essays, looking at about 300 modern stories. It is a book of ideas, and a celebration of literary art.

By Roemer McPhee
xTrained in history at Princeton University and in finance at the Wharton Graduate School, Roemer McPhee has always had literature as his first passion. Like many of the tens of millions of baby boomers in the U.S., he has spent much of his life reading. He might (must) be called a passionate layman. He also likes to call himself a "wisdom junkie," borrowing author David Shields's phrase. "The Boomer's Guide to Story" was created with much memory work, and much research. Roemer McPhee lives in New York City with his wife and son.
