Storytelling

Oddly, one of the more compelling 9/11 memorials comes from humor-zine McSweeney's, "Welcoming Remarks Made at a Literary Reading, 9/25/01", by John Hodgman.

Selected notable quote:

I have heard a lot recently about the role of writing, song, music, painting, in the tragic blank space in our souls that this event has left behind. Of course, this preoccupation is largely a result of an unconscious bias of the media. If pig farmers had as much currency with NPR as literary novelists, we would be hearing just as much about the healing power of bacon.
