Jackson writes about his family and friends, acquaintances and experiences, focusing on more than a dozen personal stories. The perspectives shared in this engaging book come from the tellers, writers, filmmakers, listeners, and watchers who create and consume stories. He examines, as no one before has, how stories narrate and bring meaning to our lives, by describing and explaining how stories are made and used. In The Story Is True, author, filmmaker, and photographer Bruce Jackson explores the ways we use the stories that become a central part of our public and private lives. But how do stories work? What is it about telling and listening to stories that unites us? And, more importantly, how do we change them-and how do they change us? We tell stories over meals, at the water cooler, and to both friends and strangers. Making and experiencing stories, remembering and retelling them is something we all do.
