Could there be a story that would go beyond the Uncommunicative prison of one’s own Self?

I keep wondering if these days it’s possible to find the foundations of a new story that’s universal, comprehensive, all-inclusive, rooted in nature, full of contexts and at the same time understandable.
Could there be a story that would go beyond the uncommunicative prison of one’s own self, revealing a greater range of reality and showing the mutual connections? That would be able to keep its distance from the well- trodden, obvious and unoriginal center point of commonly shared opinions, and manage
to look at things ex-centrically, away from the center?
