Narrative Humanism is written by Moss-Wellington Wyatt Moss-Wellington and published by Edinburgh University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1474454348 (ISBN 10) and 9781474454346 (ISBN 13).

This book attempts to clarify the narrative conditions of humanism, asking how we can use stories to complicate our understanding of others, and questioning the ethics and efficacy of attempts to represent human social complexity in fiction. With case studies of films like Parenthood (1989), American Beauty (1999), Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and The Kids Are All Right (2010), this original study synthesises leading discourses on media and cognition, evolutionary anthropology, literature and film analysis into a new theory of the storytelling instinct.
