The Poem in the Story: Music, Poetry, and Narrative

Stories are not sermons, are not morales, are not history, are not aggregates of elements that can be disassembled and labeled, says Scheub (African languages and literature, U. of Wisconsin-Madison): they are music, song, dance, and whoever misses that has not heard the story. He has written extensively on African stories and storytelling. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
