“The tale-tellers: a short study of humanity” by Nancy Huston
“To be human is to have a story and to tell stories – an 'I' only comes into being thanks to the 'we's' which, through stories, we are taught to identify with and relate to. Each and every detail of our precious identities, from our names to our birthdates to our family histories to our national identities to our religions, is part of a story that was invented at a particular place and time, constructed in the same way as all stories are constructed.”
