Fascinating stuff!
No, I don't mean that. I think of narrative in a broader sense--a communication of an experience of some sort, and words are only one way to express it.
People relate to art by perceiving in it a common experience--either by interpreting or superimposing they're experience over it. The latter is pretty important and I think most good artists deliberately weave a little fog to engage their audience.
thank you for that link. I have never heard of Fischer, but what a sensitive and brilliant interpretation!
The third word I learned was “Usmic.” Mom would put on a stack of piano Boogie Woogie 78s to keep me entertained and quiet. When the stack played out, I’d start screaming for “Usmic! Usmic!” and she’d flip the stack over. Explains a lot! I hear music in my head, non-stop.
