On the importance of stories, and the danger of The Story -- about anything.

[alfreda89]

The TED talks are generally wonderful -- they're considered ideas worth spreading. Here novelist Chimamanda Adichie speaks on the importance of stories -- and the danger of telling only a single story about any given group of people. It's wonderful, a must for any writer (a good general reminder of the danger of falling into A story about anyone or anything) and well worth your approximately 20 minutes. Thanks to janni and stinabat for discovering this one.
