Beloved mythologist Joseph Campbell explores the Space Age. He posits that the newly discovered laws of outer space are actually within us as well, and that a new mythology is implicit in that realization. But what is this new mythology? How can we recognize it? Campbell explores these questions in the concluding essay, “The Way of Art”, in which he demonstrates that metaphor is the language of art and argues that within the psyches of today’s artists are the seeds of tomorrow’s mythologies.

When 13-year-old Mia finally reveals a closely-guarded secret, it soon echoes throughout her school. She was born with synesthesia, a neurological cross-wiring that lets her see sounds, taste shapes, and smell colors.

How can Mia "the alien" find acceptance and self-worth?

Life is a battleground, and it's all because of our boundaries; the physical, emotional, and mental ones we have or, all too often, don't have. And they're fluid too because we relax them for people we trust and want to let in and assert them for those we're not so sure about. They're also dependent on how we see ourselves; if we're low in confidence, self-esteem or self-worth, then our boundaries can quite often be flimsy. If we've been hurt, our boundaries can become impenetrable, which can lead to us feeling alone, isolated and worthless.

In So Much Longing in So Little Space, Karl Ove Knausgaard explores the life and work of Edvard Munch.

As co-curator of a major new exhibition of Munch's work in Oslo, Knausgaard visits the landscapes that inspired him, and speaks with contemporary artists, including Vanessa Baird and Anselm Kiefer.
