What a fascinating book. Demonstrates, with convincing examples, that Asian cultures often use quite a different plot structure than Western cultures. Includes a compelling analysis of how Disney crammed the traditional story of Mulan into a Western heroic framework that is quite different from the original Chinese story.

Highly recommended for writers and avid readers.
