Beschreibung:
In the last several decades, narratives of illness and disability have been published in unprecedented numbers and gained critical acclaim, and they have come to represent one of the most vital areas in the growth of personal narrative. This volume explores this phenomenon using the latest critical theories and from the perspectives of patients and creative writers as well as academics. It attends to the problematic intersection of trauma and disability; it encompasses graphic narratives, essays, and diaries, as well as full-length memoirs; and it examines the ethical as well as the aesthetic dimensions of narrative. This book was originally published as a special issue of Life Writing.
