Bringing together the human story of care with its representation
in film, fiction and memoir, this book combines an analysis of care
narratives to inform and inspire ideas about this major role in
life. Alongside analysis of narratives drawn from literature and
film, the author sensitively interweaves the story of his wife's
illness and care to illuminate perspectives on dealing with human
decline. Examining texts from a diverse range of authors such as
Leo Tolstoy, Edith Wharton and Alice Munro, and filmmakers such as
Ingmar Bergman and Michael Haneke, it addresses questions such as
why caregiving is a dangerous activity, the ethical problems of
writing about caregiving, the challenges of reading about
caregiving, and why caregiving is so important. It serves as a fire
starter on the subject of how we can gain insight into the
challenges and opportunities of caregiving through the creative
arts.
