Eeck! Are you therefore suggesting that almost anything at all
which has been made / created is "narrative", Vince? Even little
brown pots? Especially if they have blobs and splashes on them? I
personally think that is a very unhelpful "definition",
especially as "narrative" by its very nature HAS to tell a story
in and of itself. Making one up would be cheating! I believe you
are stretching a point, by splitting hairs here, Old Fruit! JMO
you understand :o)
Sincerely
Janet Kaiser -- Now Himself is cross with me... Threatens to
ration the marzipan!?! Surely I did not eat it ALL by
myself...???

when people

telling a story is
