| Introduction | I write because I love to tell stories. This was a surprising realization to me. I thought it was because I had something to say. Because I do: I harbor a lusty desire to contribute to the global conversation of human progress and development and justice. There are so many myths I want to explode, so many gnarled masses of foolish assumptions and wicked deceits I want my words to untangle. But ultimately, it turns out I write because I love to tell stories well. To tell them truthfully. And so if my stories also have some point, if they change the reader a little bit, if they answer some questions, or ask some others, then I am pleased. I am ecstatic. I am flattered. But I am reminded: it all begins with the story and how it is told. |
