The story-maker is always with us. Let us suppose our world is attacked by war, by the horrors that we all of us easily imagine. Let us suppose floods wash through our cities, the seas rise . . . but the storyteller will be there, for it is our imaginations which shape us, keep us, create us - for good and for ill. It is our stories that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed." tag:metafilter.com,2007:site.67332 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 13:50:57 -0800 Africa DorisLessing Literature NobelPrize jokeefe http://www.metafilter.com/9558/ <a href="http://books.guardian.co.uk/edinburghbookfestival2001/story/0,1061,536568,00.html">Quit blaming men.</a> An opinion of my favorite writer.
