On Stories
Why people explain themselves in stories, and what a story does to a fact.
Sample text
This is a sample body standing in for the revision of an earlier paper on stories. It is here so that the index, the reading column and the figure treatment can be seen with more than one entry, and every sentence of it will be replaced.
The piece will be set like every essay on this site: one reading column, figures that carry the argument, footnotes below the text, and a version number that changes when the text does.1
What the piece will do
The earlier paper is being revised. The essay will keep its question and rebuild its evidence from need, biology, economics or history rather than from the theory's own vocabulary.
