Potential story title?
“This was the point an old Akkadian author was trying to make when he spoke of neighboring tribes as people ‘who knew not grain’ and who ‘had never known a city,’” written by W.R. Jones in a paper 30 years ago about the concept of “barbarians.”
“Never known a city,” kind of haunting, isn’t it?
Okay, is wordpress kicking my ass? Apologies if you get this twice.
I did not know you were over here, so am catching up. Usually I lurk, but due to a tragic misread I thought your potential story title was going to be “Who Knew Not Groin.” And I think that would be awesome too. Though not so much haunting.
