Description

Many, from a wide range of disciplines, claim that narrative is fundamental to being human. This engaging book presents a coherent thesis to that effect, connecting the Joke and the Story (with all that comedy and tragedy imply) not only with our perception of the world, with the character of faith and with our faith in each other.
