Description
Stories We Tell Our Children explores how children learn to survive through the tales they are told. But can they thrive if they are raised by unreliable narrators using stories as a means of shirking responsibility and papering over the cracks of estrangement?
This series of darkly inventive interlinked tales shows how our young are transformed by the words they are fed - words that are often insubstantial and misleading, leaving them hungry for truth as they sift through the scraps left by those whose aim should be to nourish them.
Blisteringly bleak, witty and wildly erudite, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of how stories shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
