Book Synopsis
Stories accompany us through life from birth to death. Stories connect people, but they can also disconnect, creating boundaries between people and justifying violence. This book grapples with this fundamental aspect of our lives, offering both a theory of how stories shape us and a useful method for analyzing them.

Trade Review
"Arthur Frank is a beautiful writer and this is a terrific book. His socio-narratology, while clearly drawing on the work of earlier scholars, is genuinely original, and his mastery of narrative theory, facility with a range of theoretical traditions of narrative analysis, deep fondness for literature, and capacity as a storyteller - all these together allow him to make a very persuasive case." - Cheryl Mattingly, University of Southern California"
