Customer Reviews

Brilliant and profound!

Ocassionally one encounters a thinker who both confirms and challenges every experience and thought long seen as personal and private, suddenly connecting them to a wide world of possibilities. Kearney, in this elegant and concise little book, does exactly this for me. On Stories is both brilliant and profound.
