The truth is, everything we know about America, everything Americans come to know about being American, isn't from the news. I live there. We don't go home at the end of the day and think, "Well, I really know who I am now because the Wall Street Journal says that the Stock Exchange closed at this many points." What we know about how to be who we are comes from stories.
Es — nosotros — yo he vivido ahí. No nos vamos a casa al final del día y pensamos, "Bueno, ahora ya sé quién soy realmente porque el Wall Street Journal dice que el mercado bursátil cerró con estos tantos puntos". Lo que sabemos acerca de ser quienes somos viene de historias.
