The Bricks of Babel
From: The City of Words

In this chapter, Manguel explores the interplay between language, identity, and storytelling, drawing on Kafka’s 1918 Babel meditations, Irish colonial history, and Inuit narrative traditions, and other references to show how words shape the societies that produce them.
