If I sound like a high school (college? - what's the diff) student who didn't turn his homework on time, I beg your forgiveness. And I don't even have a dog (but I do have a blog:) )...
I've been hoping to produce a piece on the use (overuse) of the inside-the-beltway (and increasingly outside the imperial capital as well) mot du jour (pardon the French) -- "narrative" -- but am simply overwhelmed by how frequently it is used on a daily basis.
Here's the blog I've been keeping on the word, trying to keep up with it, if that's possible.
But I do hope to put an article together on this (for me, now quite unbearable) buzzword, so often used for not telling it straight.
The article would simply say how, in recent months, the word "narrative" has been used/overused by the "thinking"/"not-thinking" USA class.
Am, of course, not assuming that you are breathlessly awaiting such an article ... :)
Most people have more serious things to do than worry about the overuse of a word.

A question to Russian friends: What the best Russian word for "narrative"?
