Ah. My story. Are you certain you wish to hear it? It is long, unlikely, and remarkably unedifying -- shameful, even, to come from a minister's lips. Blasphemous, too, properly regarded.
In "We Never Talk about My Brother" by Peter S. Beagle, the narrator hints at a complex and potentially scandalous story. He expresses hesitation about sharing it, emphasizing that it is lengthy and filled with unlikely events. The mention of shame and blasphemy suggests that the tale may challenge societal norms or moral expectations, especially coming from someone in a position of religious authority.
This introduction sets the stage for a narrative that promises to explore deep and possibly troubling themes, inviting the reader to consider the nature of truth and the burdens of one’s past. It raises questions about the narrator's experiences and their implications, indicating a journey not only of storytelling but also of self-reflection and revelation.
