Storytelling is a relentless human urge and its power forges with memory to become the foundation of history. Novelists Charles Johnson (Middle Passage), Arthur Golden (Memoirs of a Geisha), and Esmeralda Santiago (America's Dream) join Miller in discussing the intersection of history and story. Kurt Vonnegut Jr., closes the series with a reflection on the power of the human imagination.
