More DescriptionA collection of anecdotes, offered as the basis for modern oral teaching stories, were discovered during the city's library renovation. The anecdotes, known as tellings, were written by an anonymous author. They were edited and published by a modern-day investigative newspaper reporter. The story takes place during the present day in a fictional city. That is where the conceit of this story ends. The collection is meant to stimulate conversations between social scientists and ordinary people about the various transformations happening in cultures here and abroad. Fundamental to the conversations is the idea that cultural transformation is literally writing a new mythology, and this collection is a contribution to that proposed body of literature. Authentic conversations between the people studying culture change and the people who are actually accomplishing it are necessary, and this publication is intended to stimulate them.
