reviewed Other People's Myths: The Cave of Echoes on March 17, 2019 Other People's Myths: The Cave of Echoes
I didn't realize this was an academic book when I purchased this, but I am grateful that it is. This book anticipates work like Lewis Hyde's Trickster Makes This World, wherein myth serves a gateway into a deeper understanding into the way specific human cultures function. What I feel readers of this work can easily miss though is that there is a vein of postcolonial thought that implicitly works its way into O'Flaherty's volume. It's possible that postcolonial scholars interested in mythology may find this work more useful to them than layreaders interested in this subject matter.
