Review
"The great strength of the book is the range of theories marshaled to support what emerges as a central theme: that selves can be victimized or empowered by narratives and that autobiographical narratives skillfully deployed in public performance foreground the constructedness of both art and life, the public stakes in each, and the possibility for alternatives." --Dorothy Chansky
