Summary: When Hillary Clinton conceded in 2008 that she didn't quite 'shatter the glass ceiling', she used an abbreviated metaphorical story, in which stories about one topic are presented as stories about something entirely different. This book examines metaphorical stories as a means to a deeper understanding of ordinary communication.
