From the Reviews of the First Edition"The Story Is True is an expertly written narrative by a professional storyteller, which shows its ideas through its structure as much as it tells them with words." — Discourse Studies"Jackson's book is a work every oral historian should read. It shows how stories inform many disciplines." — The Oral History Review"The writing style is warm, lucid, and informal—at all times humane and accessible … Students will love its verve and informality. It will painlessly show them the importance of words and stories for politics, philosophy, and social interaction. This book could be the sort of introductory classroom text that turns students of narrative into enthusiasts." — The Journal of American Folklore
