Rumors of the Death of Narrative Greatly Exaggerated

By Victoria Pynchon

ADVERTISEMENTS

For goodness sakes! Telling stories is the entire reason for dining out! Not to mention the basis of all negotiations, disputes, and the common law. See Grand Theft Auto, Twitter and Beowulf all demonstrate that stories will never die. H/t to @gapingvoid in my twitter network.

In the immortal words of Joan Didion, "we tell ourselves stories in order to live." And to prove it, here's a totally random set of "tweets" from my network -- mid-narrative.
