Shibboleth: The Garden of Secrets

Abstract

A tale about a fictitious poet and soldier named Max Pintor about the nature of storytelling, about language as a password for entrance (Shibboleth) to a sacred country. The Garden of Secrets is the name of the Garden of forking paths (Jorge Luis Borges), a potential garden and a potential life for telling a different story than the official. These paths go beyond the distinctions between truth and lies, storytelling and jurisdiction, language and secrets versus language of evidence.
