Our everyday lives are enmeshed in storytelling: the stories we
tell about our memories, the people we know, and the world we
inhabit; those we tell about our families and communities; and the
narratives we encounter in books, movies, and television. Narrative
structures how we view ourselves and everything around us. In The
Narrative Complexity of Ordinary Life, William L. Randall shows how
concepts central to the study of narrative psychology-such as
narrative development and the interrelation between narrative and
identity, cognition, and development-are integral to everyday life.
He makes the case that all people function as narrative
psychologists by continually storying their lives in memory and
imagination, as well as speculating on the stories that others may
be living, a process that Randall refers to as storyotyping.
Relying heavily on narrative, Randall draws from experiences in his
own life to illustrate various concepts in narrative psychology.
His inquiry leads him to the topics of gossip, rumor, and the
narrative complexity of nostalgia. In doing so, he makes the case
that all people function as narrative psychologists by continually
storying - or, cementing - their lives in memory and imagination, a
process Randall refers to as "storyotyping".
