Today on Mythmakers, the Oxford Centre for Fantasy meets the winner of the Golden Pencil Prize for the best Dutch children's book of the year, Yorick Goldewijk, as his novel debuts in English. Movies Showing Nowhere, a fascinating middle-grade novel about memories, loss and time travel, is set in a special cinema which takes the hero, Cate, on an unexpected journey. This book will also take Yorick and Julia Golding down some interesting paths as they discuss the story and how we play out real world ideas in fantasy. Join us as they speak about misfits, grief, memory, therapy and so much more, ending off by deciding where in all the fantasy worlds they would go to look back at memories - from Galadriel's Mirror to Dumbledore's Pensieve - be sure to let us know if you agree with their picks!   For more information on Yorick visit his Facebook page at @yorick.goldewijk or follow him on Instagram at @yorickgoldewijk   For more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit: Website: https://centre4fantasy.com/website Instagram: https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram Facebook: https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook TikTok: https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok   0:00 Introduction to Mythmakers 1:07 Yorick's Childhood Fantasy Influences 3:09 Yorick's Journey to Becoming an Author 6:09 Introduction to "Movies Showing Nowhere" 8:21 Theme of Grief and Embracing Life 13:11 Embracing Weirdness and Being a Misfit 16:20 Yorick's Creative Process with Music 20:57 Starting a Book with a Mood 28:24 Using Fantasy Worlds as Laboratories 29:57 Yorick's Future Book Themes 33:59 Imagining Memories with Extraordinary Minds 36:46 Journeys into Extraordinary Minds and Narnia 39:02 Exploring Bran Stark's Memories in "Game of Thrones" 40:15 Recommendation of "Movies Showing Nowhere"
