Riassunto

Stories are the stuff of life, and life?very often?is the stuff of stories. For every made-up tale, there is a true one at least as remarkable?a strange coincidence, an unexpected encounter, a stroke of luck or misfortune, an event so hilarious or heartbreaking that it is impossible to forget. For several years, readers of London’s Sunday Telegraph Magazine have been submitting their own brief accounts of the times in their lives when the ordinary has turned extraordinary, when something has happened to transform the humdrum into narrative gold. Some of the writing is funny, some sad, some almost too good, or strange, to be true. The perfect reminder that life is not just for the living, but for the telling, too.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Stories are the stuff of life, and life - very often - is the stuff of stories. From earliest childhood we are told stories, and learn to tell our own. But for every made-up tale, there is a true one at least as remarkable: a peculiar coincidence, an unexpected encounter, a stroke of luck or misfortune, an event so hilarious - or heartbreaking - that it is impossible to forget. We all have our own story to tell.
Since November 2003 the readers of the Sunday Telegraph Magazine have been submitting their own short accounts of the times in their life when the ordinary has turned extraordinary, when something has happened to transform the humdrum into narrative gold. Some of their writing is funny, some sad, some almost too good - or strange - to be true.
In Your Own Words is a great book for dipping in and out of, and the perfect reminder that life is not just for the living, but for the telling, too.
