Why read it?
1 author picked The Dream and the Underworld as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
James Hillman is the kind of writer you sometimes have to stop, think and re-read, to work your way into what he is trying to say, but it repays the effort because what he says is always interesting. This book, about fantasy and imagination, explores the idea that we are more than our personal story, more than ego and self. For me as a writer, it changed the way I see the creative process, with imagination not being something we need to spark and drive, but a space we already inhabit. Imagination is our essence; we are the dream.
From Jenny's list on dreams for writers who want to boost creativity.
