In The Limits of Autobiography, Leigh Gilmore analyzes texts that
depict trauma by combining elements of autobiography, fiction,
biography, history, and theory in ways that challenge the
constraints of autobiography. Astute and compelling readings of
works by Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, Dorothy Allison, Mikal
Gilmore, Jamaica Kincaid, and Jeanette Winterson explore how each
poses the questions "How have I lived?" and "How will I live?" in
relation to the social and psychic forms within which trauma
emerges. First published in 2001, this new edition of one of the
foundational texts in trauma studies includes a new preface by the
author that assesses the gravitational pull between life writing
and trauma in the twenty-first century, a tension that continues to
produce innovative and artful means of confronting kinship,
violence, and self-representation.
