In Storylines, J. Edward Chamberlin argues that stories are fundamental to human existence
Narrative is one of this decade’s most over used words, and Chamberlin, to his credit, usually prefers the less pretentious “story” in his own work. And what stories he has to tell!. My personal favourite is about a time in Jamaica when a Rastafarian elder preparing him for a meeting with others who shared that faith told him,” Brother Ted, there is something you should know. There are people here who think the world is round. And people who think the world is flat….Same people.
Chamberlin celebrates all the forms of storytelling that sustain this precious dance, whether the stories come from the oral tradition of Indigenous peoples, the Western canon or the elegant storytelling generated by science.Article content He teases out the connections among disparate traditions and story lines, moving smoothly from the stories told by Heisenberg and Homer to sophisticated story telling/world making tales of Indigenous peoples, many of which he learned while serving with Thomas Berger on the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, and during his time asenior research associate with the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples.
