At some point, I would like to compile a master bibliography here (if I’m not reinventing the wheel), bringing together my overall bibliography for this blog, as well as previous postings and this new entry with suggestions from Brian McKenzie and Sandy Schuman, who posted them to the Working Stories group. They’re listed in the continuation of this entry. McKenzie’s work is of interest to me because he teaches entrepreneurship, which I also teach. I’m also adding other resources as I come across them.

From Seth Kahan:
Walter Fisher’s “Narrative Paradigm” in which, according to a couple of web resources, he indicates that “…narrative is what makes reason and values meaningful. Man becomes Homo Narrans.” These resources also point to his book, Human Communication as Narration: Toward a Philosophy of Reason, Value, and Action (University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, 1987).
