Cover illustration by Hayley Mars. Used with permission. ‘We were to find an image for the book, a book on storytelling with yet another story on the cover that itself was to denote a story. But what story? And what language in which to denote the act, the articulation and the tremble, of a story? Luckily Alex had a very talented friend, Hayley Mars, to which the cover image is credited. So riddled with ambiguity, it is, ostensibly, a photograph of people undertaking the banality of the daily commute. So why does it communicate so much? We leave that for the reader to answer for themselves. Spellbinding.’ The Library of Congress Cataloging- in- Publication Data is available online at http:// catalog.loc.gov LC record available at http:// lccn.loc.gov/ Typeface for the Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts: “Brill”.
