The author set off to write a book about writing, but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories--our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmakes--expose and distort our realities. The author discusses the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our society and embrace the liberating power of truth.
