Thank you for writing this, Amy. It has got to be one of your most profound and interesting posts. I need to re read it a few times to fully absorb the ideas, but was reminded of a quotation from Walter Benjamin: Death is the sanction of everything the story-teller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death.

Thanks so much, Caroline, for reading and commenting. And for the Benjamin line... I do think he runs through all these posts, one way and another. xx
