The essays in this collection explore new directions in
autobiography studies. Examining a wide range of texts, from
narratives of suicide survivors, cross-dressers, and people with
HIV/AIDS to self-representations in the visual arts, the collection
demonstrates how writers have used the postmodern experience
fragmentation to forge new kinds of identities.
Postmodern selves, the essayists argue, are relational selves,
constructed from the acute need to find identity through
collaboration with others. Postmodern autobiography emerges as a
search, amid shocks to the stable self, for wider patterns of
significance. Of interest to researchers and scholars in
autobiography, world literature, and psychology.
