This fascinating new book... offers an engaging introduction to identity and narrative.... This is a well-written, timely, and progressive book--a surprisingly rare mix., "This fascinating new book . . . offers an engaging introduction to identity and narrative. . . . This is a well-written, timely, and progressive book - a surprisingly rare mix."-Virginia Quarterly Review, "In How Our Lives Become Stories, Paul John Eakin explains why he prefers 'to think of "self" less as an entity and more as a kind of awareness in process.' . . . Eakin makes the ethics of reading integral to his project. . . . Eakin attends to those who are repelled by the 'urge to confess' and he talks about telling all as a cultural imperative that may, for example, be costly to the families of memoirists despite the therapeutic value such confessions might have. The ethics of privacy, the fact of relational lives, and the moral strictures that shadow autobiographical tellings bring Eakin to ask, 'What is right and fair?'"--Canadian Literature, "Paul John Eakin has always been a few steps ahead of the rest of us. Now, with How Our Lives Become Stories, he has contributed another indispensable reassessment of the field of autobiography, this time keyed to the disturbingly fluid sense of the self that has emerged from recent research throughout the cognitive sciences."-H. Porter Abbott, University of California, Santa Barbara, "Rethinking what he calls 'registers of self and self-experience,' Paul John Eakin once again offers new and necessary work in autobiography studies. A most accessible and engaging book, Our Lives Become Stories draws on recent scholarship in neurology, cognitive sciences, memory studies, developmental psychology, cultural narratives, and ethics in order to demonstrate that 'there are many stories of self to tell, and more than one self to tell them.'"-Susanna Egan, University of British Columbia, "In How Our Lives Become Stories, Paul John Eakin explains why he prefers 'to think of "self" less as an entity and more as a kind of awareness in process.' . . .

Modern Fiction Studies, Vol. 47, No. 2, June 2001, "Paul John Eakin has accomplished here what many preach and few practice: a genuinely cross- disciplinary study. How Our Lives Become Stories is a fascinating account of the creation of an autobiographical self seen from the multiple vantage points of literature, philosophy, neurology, and psychology. Eakin shows the infinitely complex ways in which we become and remember who we are in our bodies and our brains. Equally important in this pioneering study is Eakin's penetrating analysis of how as a culture we negotiate the changing boundaries of private and public life. How Our Lives Become Stories offers a subtle and intelligent guide to the ethical dilemmas of disclosure and confession, memory and narrative, that pervade contemporary American life. A book for our times."--Nancy K. Miller, author of Bequest and Betrayal: Memoirs of a Parent's Death, "When we write about our lives, the complex work of constructing the story is intertwined with all that constitutes the process of identity formation. In this book, Eakin expertly guides us through the thorny terrain of research in neurology, developmental psychology, and memory theory and revisits philosophy and literary theory. By the end of the journey, we have a far richer understanding of how individuals construct their lives and how they tell the story of that construction, as well as a sense of the dynamic interplay between the two processes."-Literature and Medicine, "Paul John Eakin has accomplished here what many preach and few practice: a genuinely cross- disciplinary study.

Synopsis
Informed by literary, scientific, and experiential concerns, Eakins enhances our knowledge of the complex forces that shape identity, and confronts the equally complex problems that arise when we write about who we think we are., The popularity of such books as Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes , Mary Karr's The Liars' Club , and Kathryn Harrison's controversial The Kiss , has led columnists to call ours "the age of memoir." And while some critics have derided the explosion of memoir as exhibitionistic and self-aggrandizing, literary theorists are now beginning to look seriously at this profusion of autobiographical literature. Informed by literary, scientific, and experiential concerns, How Our Lives Become Stories enhances knowledge of the complex forces that shape identity, and confronts the equally complex problems that arise when we write about who we think we are. Using life writings as examples--including works by Christa Wolf, Art Spiegelman, Oliver Sacks, Henry Louis Gates, Melanie Thernstrom, and Philip Roth--Paul John Eakin draws on the latest research in neurology, cognitive science, memory studies, developmental psychology, and related fields to rethink the very nature of self-representation. After showing how the experience of living in one's body shapes one's identity, he explores relational and narrative modes of being, emphasizing social sources of identity, and demonstrating that the self and the story of the self are constantly evolving in relation to others. Eakin concludes by engaging the ethical issues raised by the conflict between the authorial impulse to life writing and a traditional, privacy-based ethics that such writings often violate.
