The power of the narrative is everywhere. Each time I pick up a newspaper or
magazine I see more about it -- storytelling as an artform and as a way to
break through clutter is here. I'm reading an older book by Annie Dillard, who
opens by quoting yet another author, Evan S. Connell, Jr, who I've not read but maybe should. Here
is what he says:
"The legend of the Traveler appears in every civilization, perpetually
assuming new forms, afflictions, powers, and symbols. Through every age he
walks in utter solitude toward penance and redemption."
"I have agreed to paint a narrative on the city walls.
I have been at work many years,
There is so much to be told"
Indeed. There are so many stories to tell. Good stuff.
