Storytelling

Are stories like oil? Is it possible that one day the human race could actually hit peak supply, then run out of narrative altogether? It hardly seems likely, given that the world seems to churn out yet another new vampire book at least every five minutes. But there are stories ... and then, there are stories. Like opinions, everyone has one, but it takes a rare talent to tell one well. So what’s it like inside the mind of a great storyteller? What can they see that the rest of us don’t? We’ll hear some grand tales - tall and true - like why exactly did Dan Kelly need the first ever “song chaperone”? And were Jack Thompson’s nude scenes really undertaken in the name of women’s liberation? Surely not!
