Henry Lien – Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird: The Art of Eastern Storytelling
In this essential guide for writers, Henry Lien challenges the dominance of the three-act structure in Western narrative. Drawing on examples from popular culture—including Parasites, the Mario video game franchise, and One Thousand and One Nights—Lien demonstrates that compelling storytelling takes many forms. He introduces readers to the East Asian four-act structure (kishōtenketsu), showing how different cultural traditions and values shape narrative form.
This book is a must-read for any writer seeking to expand their understanding of how to craft engaging stories. By exploring diverse structures, themes, and values, Lien reveals that variety in art means more than just different characters—it means different ways of building stories altogether.
