"But more importantly, without any context any description I gave you would read like an essay. Sure I could explain some of the lost pagan rites from Vint. But without context and narrative, our ability to care about such things is dramatically reduced.
"That’s why we need stories."
- Patrick Rothfuss

And when an author takes as long to write (admittedly great) novels . . . Well, stories are amazing, but the facts are better than nothing. Your thoughts?
