I just read Jo Nesbo's Guardian article. Thank you. By coincidence this morning as I was driving back from getting my early morning coffee, I heard an interview with a young woman in Ukraine who is working to get Ukraine's story out in the "battle" of stories that is going on between Russia and Ukraine. And, yes, I think you are right that the work of the Story Club is so pertinent. Nesbo writes that the truest stories are the best, but as he also mentions, facts don't always work. Truth can be better revealed sometimes in nonlinear and indirect ways that reach the heart rather than the intellect. I remember a phrase from a writing text--tell it slant. Babel's story is so delicate, so indirect. I apologize if I am off base in my response to your post.
Not off base Elizabeth thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think that the world's progress is paused, all too often stepped back, when 'Leaders' don't rule, decide and act without due regard to the need for heart and mind to be ruling jointly and in harmony.
