Basic
I have trying to sum up my novel in a one sentence pitch and found that most people seem to use comparative combining, e.g. My Cousin Vinny's Big Fat Fried Green Breakfast Club meets (thread-bare cover of) Harry Potty-mouth [sic].
In trying to sum up my story I found myself appreciating that the basic premise of my book owes a great deal to Homer's Odyssey, i.e. hero tries to get home and has lots of adventures on the way that change him. Or as I've just been reading: Campbell's Monomyth archetype (if you believe that sort of thing). One main aspect of my protagonist's journey is his on-going questioning of what is real and what is fantasy.
Which brings me to the purpose of this post. Try as I may, I can't seem to find any suitable comparisons. Any suggestions?
