Vi har fortalt historier til hinanden i alle tider og samfund. Men fortællingen er mere nødvendig end nogensinde. Og verden over har medierne fået øjnene op for at lange, velfortalte historier, der er en efterspurgt vare, frem for korte nyheder og clickbait. Tiden kalder på gode fortællinger og i en fragmenteret verden tilbyder fortællende journalistik læserne forståelse og fordybelse. I Fortællingernes tid tager Line Vaaben læseren med ind i nogle af verdens bedste journalister, redaktører og fotografers værksted og præsenterer nøje udvalgte eksempler på nyere fortællende journalistik fra både den amerikanske tradition og den fremvoksende og særlige skandinaviske fortælletradition. Line Vaaben (f. 1972) er fortællende journalist på Dagbladet Information og fellow ved Syddansk Universitet 2018/19

I sine erindringer fortæller Jacob Holdt levende, underholdende og med stor sans for sjove og tankevækkende detaljer om de vilde år, der gjorde ham berømt langt ud over landets grænser og kom til at definere hans liv. Alle kender Jacob Holdt og hans Amerikanske billeder. Et værk, som ikke blot redefinerede opfattelsen af underklassen i USA, men også blev synonym med Jacob Holdts eget liv som langskægget provokatør, fotograf og aktivist. Men hvorfra kommer hans nysgerrighed, hans uforbeholdne møde med andre mennesker og hans filosofi om at sige ja til alle, han møder på sin vej? Hvad er han selv rundet af? I sine erindringer fortæller Jacob Holdt levende, underholdende og med stor sans for sjove og tankevækkende detaljer om sin opvækst i en præstegård i den vestjyske landsby Fåborg. Det er en barndom, der er fuld af eventyr og frihed, men den er også påvirket af hans psykisk uberegnelige mor og fraværende præstefar. Efter en turbulent ungdom og et oprør mod sin far ’flygter’ Jacob Holdt til USA, hvor han som 23-årig indleder fem års blaffertur. Da han vender hjem igen, er det ikke blot med uforglemmelige indtryk og erfaringer fra de mere end 220.000 kilometer som vagabond på de amerikanske landeveje. I rygsækken har han også de mange tusind fotografier, han har taget af især fattige sorte, og som i 1977 bliver til den banebrydende bog Amerikanske billeder. Udgivelsen af bogen bliver startskuddet til et liv på landevejene, som har varet siden da. Bogen er rigt illustreret – både med Jacob Holdts private fotos samt fotos fra den allerførste tur gennem USA.
