“There is fiction in the space between…” yeah.
As a writer, I have mulled this concept over. As a young college age adult this concept wandered through my grey matter one summer as I worked at a camp. I was provoked by this idea as an adult when I read Robert Cole’s book, The Call of Stories. I still visit and revisit this idea a lot. Maybe I’m not the philosophical musing kind, but I often wonder how much “story” is truth and how much is fiction. I think how much like Tracy Chapman says lies in the space between. Call it motives, instinct, intuition, spirit, I don’t know for sure. But there is fiction in the space between you and me. There is truth in the space between you and me. There is both in our hi”stories” together. I love the lyrics of this song.
