Real Talk hero Ira Glass on the art of storytelling:
Narrative is basically a machine that’s raising questions and answering them. And obviously, one of the things is, “What’s going to happen next?” is the question. But then the other is the glasses in the pocket, or sort of the clue to the whole puzzle, which you can tell in an instant. Knowing how to manipulate that, how to handle that, I think, is the beginning to actually knowing how to tell a story.Also: Another take on the art of storytelling.
