Stories were told even before books existed. By a fire at night, for example. Spontaneously, without preparation, without control. Today, it is easier than ever to find a new book and browse through it. They are available in all facets and formats, beautifully presented. Many people are involved in bringing new books to market. And thanks to them, readers can rest assured that they are buying something well-made. Everything is so convenient and ubiquitous; it almost seems like this would be the only way to tell and hear stories. But it isn’t.
People can still tell their stories as if they were sitting by a camp fire. And if you want to hear one, you don’t necessarily have to pay for it. You can join a story like you would join a circle of other eager listeners under a star-lit night sky. Maybe what you hear and see won’t be perfect – and we are so used to perfection. The voice you’ll listen to may misspeak. Here and there it may say too much, sometimes too little. Just like at a campfire, where since time immemorial everyone can narrate and captivate an audience. Where there is no staff. Where no one is afraid of not being perfect. Where people tell stories as they go along…
This is raw literature, unpolished.
