THE ONE UNIVERSAL STORY?

It has been argued that Camus, Kafka, Murakami, Diaz, Oates, Williams, Wilson, and Miller are all telling the same story.
What is that one story?
It has been said that there is only
one
universal story in the world.
We humans just
keep retelling that universal story in different specific ways.

After you consider and compare all the texts we have read this year,
explain:
what is the one universal story
that our authors keep exploring?

(Remember to focus on the universal here --
a universal story is one that embodies universal themes or even actions, not specific ones.)
