Tell Me a Story
Richard Hamilton

For Emily

This wretched life

is all the life
well ever have.
---Shakespeare
FIRST PART
My first job was as a lawyer. I was not a very happy or
inspired lawyer. One night I was driving home listening to
a radio report, and there is something very intimate about
radio: a voice comes out of a machine and into the
listeners ear---with rain pounding the windscreen and only
the dashboard lights and the stereo for company, I thought
to myself, This is what I want to do. So I became a radio
journalist.
But potent as radio seems, can a recording device ever
fully replicate the experience of listening to a live
storyteller? The folklorist Joseph Bruchac thinks not. The
presence of teller and audience, and the immediacy of the
moment, are not fully captured by any form of technology,
he wrote in a comment piece for The Guardian in 2010.
Unlike the insect frozen in amber, a told story is alive...
The story breathes with the tellers breath. And as
devoted as I am to radio, my recent research into oral
storytelling makes me think that Bruchac may be right.

2/HAMILTON/TELL ME A STORY

* * *
A couple of years ago, I wrote a book about the
storytellers of Morocco, collecting more than 30 tales in
the process. When I read some of them aloud to one of my
friends children, these stories came alive in a way that I
had not expected. The gurgles and shrieks of delight from
the bunk beds encouraged me to put more into the
performance. It was like the relationship between an actor
and his audience, each emboldening the other in a virtuous
circle. My own daughter is only four, and for the past few
years I have read to her almost every night. Beneath the
duvet, a wide-eyed face hangs on every word, correcting me
if I have the audacity, incompetence or sheer laziness to
miss anything.
Why do we love stories? And why do we love hearing them
spoken aloud, in person? Psychologists and literary
scholars have devoted a good deal of thought to the first
question. Perhaps, they suggest, fiction helped mankind to
evolve social mores. In a 2008 study by the psychologist
Markus Appel, professor at the University of Koblenz-Landau
in Germany, people who watched drama and comedy on TV as
opposed to news had substantially stronger beliefs in a
just world. Stories do this by constantly marinating our
brains in poetic justice, according to Jonathan
Gottschall, author of The Storytelling Animal (2012). On
the other hand, perhaps storytelling is a sort of flight
simulator that allows us to practise something without
getting hurt. Keith Oatley, professor of psychology at the
University of Toronto, believes that stories are an ancient
virtual reality technology: we get to imagine what it would
be like to confront a dangerous man or seduce someone
elses spouse without suffering the consequences.

HAMILTON/TELL ME A STORY/3

SECOND PART
When the king comes home and releases the prime minister,
he turns to ask:
How was your time in jail?
Its good, the prime minister replies.
How can prison be good? the king asks, amazed.
Well, the prime minister replies, if you had taken
me on your voyage, you would have escaped but I would have
been sacrificed.
Every time I read this story it takes on a different
meaning, like a gemstone held up to the light from
different angles. At first I simply thought it was funny.
Then I decided its message was that things will work out
for the best, even if it does not always seem so. But my
translator told me that the story is really about sacrifice
and refers to the tale of Abraham and Isaac. A Jewish
friend said she had heard the same story from her Rabbi and
someone else said they had come across it in Buddhist
thought. The prime minister also belongs to a long line of
comic characters, or wise fools. In Afghanistan he is
called Nasruddin. I recently came across this quote from
the 13th-century Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi, which seems to
sum it all up: From the point of view of man, a thing may
appear to be good or evil. But from the point of view of
God, everything is good.

THIRD PART
Abderrahim rarely performs in the main square any more. I
asked him why and he gazed at a point in the distance.
Look, there is no room and it is too noisy. Nowadays, he
said, Moroccans would rather watch DVDs or use the internet
than listen to him. Modernity and electronic media in

4/HAMILTON/TELL ME A STORY

particular is killing the storyteller. When electricity

came, as they say in Ireland, the fairies flew out the
window.
Bruchac warns that we ignore the power of oral
narration at our peril: If we imagine that technology can
take the place of the living human presence experienced
through oral tradition, then we diminish ourselves and
forget the true power of stories.
But maybe, just maybe, some are fighting back. In
France, for example, the original troubadours died out in
the 14th century. But there are now around 200 storytelling
festivals every year, according to one of the countrys
most prominent performers, Abbi Patrix. In Britain, we
cannot boast of such a revival, but the success of events
such as Pin Drop suggests our hunger for stories is
undiminished. The raw power of that extraordinary and
immediate presence is always there to be discovered once
again.
Richard Hamilton is a broadcast journalist for the BBC
World Service, and the co-author of the Time Out Guide to
Marrakech. His latest book is The Last Storytellers (2011).
He lives in London.
