0 Comments

 
Jay O’Callahan is a phenomenal storyteller who performs nationally and internationally. He is best known for the long form oral stories which he creates and performs. In these, he uses the perspective of a central character to tell in riveting fashion the story of situations as diverse as the steel industry at its height in Pittsburgh and the decline of commercial fishing off the Atlantic coast. This 17-minute YouTube presentation is on the power of storytelling. In this presentation, he tells snippets of the story of NASA putting a man on the moon.

    Storying the Human Experience

    Yes, it's a grandiose title. But, as Flannery O'Connor once said, "A story is a way to say something that can't be said any other way."

    This blog contains stories and my reflections on story and stories. Not all stories are true, but all the ones here are. They are all personal stories 
    — some recorded oral stories, some digital stories with photos / video / soundtrack that go along with the personal narration.

    This blog contains some of my stories, and others that I have curated, stories that in one way or another say something about the glorious, complicated, and at times sorrowful human experience.
