Pursuing Life As A Storytelling Animal Part 1
Salman Rushdie said, “Man is the Storytelling Animal, and
that in stories are his identity, his meaning, and his lifeblood.” And The Abysmal Brutes use this episode to
discuss our pursuits as storytelling animals.
Reoccurring Brute Rocko Jerome jumps aboard to share his insights and
good writing fortune of late with The Lemon Herberts anthology and Ben Venice.
The guys ruminate on the avenues to becoming professional storytellers and how
they will rise to the top in their own varied way. They kvetch about the proper chocolate chip
cookies to milk ratio, Billy Shakespeare, getting their stories out there and is
there even an audience that actually reads fiction anymore.
