You know how sometimes people wrote with big words just to show that they can? That’s how I felt with this book. The prose seems forced and the story not engaging.

Salala Cannon is living a halfhearted life as a magazine journalist with less and less stories published and less and less assignments given. Her relationship is lukewarm at best and she is wondering where her place is in the world. During a moment of writer's block, she reads a newly published story by a famous author and realizes it is based on her. She reaches out to the author and finds that he is deceased and his wife is not interested in speaking.

What would you do? Well Sal gets on a bus and goes to her house. What happens next is an interesting take on ownership of stories and perspectives. If you like great literature, The Mythmakers is for you! #Scribner
