We All Tell Stories: A Philosophical Indictment of the Myth-Maker's Art
Thomas G. Jewusiak’s We All Tell Stories arrives not with a trumpet but with a scalpel. It does not announce itself—it intervenes. It contains no filler, no ornamental excess. Instead, it strikes with precision at the soft tissue of cultural storytelling, challenging the reader to examine how stories manipulate, mask, and even metabolize the truths we would rather not face.
In a literary culture saturated with self-congratulatory memoirs, sanitized social critiques, and market-tested narratives, We All Tell Stories dares to indict the storyteller. Jewusiak's central proposition is starkly unromantic: storytelling is not inherently noble. It is not always an act of connection. It is often camouflage—a means of constructing coherence where none exists, of soothing dissonance where confrontation is needed.
The work functions as both philosophical essay and ethical litmus test. Jewusiak strips away the idealism often projected onto stories and asks readers to stare directly into the ethical abyss: what are the consequences of believing our own fictions? When does narrative serve liberation, and when does it become a tool of ideological comfort? These are not abstract questions in Jewusiak’s hands. They’re urgent, personal, and political.
This is a book that finds its audience not in readers seeking entertainment, but in those hungry for confrontation—those who suspect that beneath every story lies a transaction, an editing, a convenient omission. Jewusiak offers no refuge to the reader. There is no reassuring arc, no redemptive ending. What there is, however, is a mirror, and it does not flatter.
The criticism embedded in this work is as subtle as it is fierce. Jewusiak writes with philosophical restraint—never pontificating, never moralizing—yet his arguments land with the force of a moral reckoning. He suggests, often implicitly, that storytelling is no longer merely a tool of meaning-making. It has become a currency of power. The story is now a product. The storyteller, a brand. And the listener? A consumer, complicit in the commodification of authenticity.
Throughout the text, Jewusiak invokes the specters of narrative theory—Derrida’s undecidability, Barthes’s death of the author, even echoes of Benjamin’s aura—all without dogmatic citation or academic pretension. These ideas circulate through the prose like ghosts in a chapel. The result is a work that feels both intellectually rigorous and spiritually haunted.
At the heart of We All Tell Stories lies a philosophical paradox: humans need stories to live, yet those very stories may be what keep us from living authentically. Jewusiak toys with this tension, never resolving it, never offering easy absolution. Instead, he invites the reader to dwell in the discomfort, to interrogate their own mythologies, and to ask a question that few books would dare pose: Who benefits from the stories we choose to tell?
The book stands out not because it pleases—but because it disarms. It’s not designed to be liked. It’s designed to be absorbed like a dose of bitter medicine. Literary critics, philosophers, tech ethicists, and cultural theorists will find fertile ground here. Its compact format makes it digestible, but its ideas demand digestion over days, even weeks. Every page is a provocation. Every sentence, an invitation to look deeper—or away.
Jewusiak’s style mirrors his subject: sparse, intentional, and resistant to ornamental indulgence. There are moments when the prose feels almost skeletal, as though the words are designed to hold open space for the reader’s own complicity to echo back. This isn't a book that tells you what to think. It’s a book that knows you’re already thinking, and it dares you to confront the direction of those thoughts.
