“We need stories. We can’t identify ourselves without them. We’re always telling ourselves stories about who we are: That’s what history is, what the idea of a nation or an individual is. The purpose of fiction is to help us answer the question we must constantly be asking ourselves: Who do we think we are and what do we think we’re doing?” —
Author Robert Stone in an interview with The Paris Review. Stone won the National Book Award in 1975 for his novel Dog Soldiers. He died Saturday at the age of 77. Here’s Petra’s remembrance of him.
