Description: | We live in a postmodern world, or so we are told, when narrative ceases to exist except as shadows of the past. Narrative functions less as a story to be told than as bits and pieces of stories we once knew but have forgotten because they no longer matter. But what if the story was not recorded from the start? What if the ghosts of the past are spirits that are doomed to wander precisely because their stories have not been told? Slaves believed that their earthly shadows lingered behind unless the appropriate burial rituals were performed. |
