ABSTRACT
I wish you would write about What it is in people that makes them want a story. The telling of tales. Ordinary life of ordinary people, Simenon-like. One can't say how life is, how chance or fate determine people's lives, except by telling the tale. In general one can't say more than — ‘yes, that is the way it goes’ […] We seem unable to live without events, without events, life becomes an indifferent flux and we [are] hardly able to tell one day from the next. Life itself is full of tales.
