Narration
“And that is perhaps what is the matter with history and that is what is perhaps the matter with narrative. I am now going to talk not about the successes in narrative and history but the way they who write narrative and history do not do what they say they will do when they start out to do what they are about to do. Let us think of newspapers, of novels, of detective stories of biographies of autobiographies of histories and of conversations. Let us think about them. I do not say let us know ...about them because it is hard to know what you do know about a thing that does not do what it does do. And so what does the newspaper do and what does it not do. But before we begin with anything that does or does not do what it is to do what it says it would if it could do that thing let us think again of narrating anything of beginning anything of ending anything. It does happen it is bound to happen that the way of telling anything can come not to mean anything to the one telling that thing.MoreLess
