<p>Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño, who spent much of his life in Mexico and Spain, first achieved international recognition with his novel The Savage Detectives, a story of writers in early 1970s Mexico City who embark on a road trip into the Sonora Desert in search of a vanished poet. No error.</p>

<p>Between “a story of writers” and “No error” i was stuck. I thought it should be a story about writers. Can someone give me an explanation for the idiom “story of” and an example please? I googled it but not luck</p>

<p>As in: the story of John and Suzie</p>

<p>Use " story about" when you mean “that deals with the issue of”</p>

<p>As in: this is a story about bravery</p>
