Description:
This monograph explores what the author considers to be the defining assumption of autobiography: that the story of the self does refer to a world of biographical and historical fact. He demonstrates that people write autobiography not in some private realm of the autonomous self but rather in strenuous engagement with the pressures that life in culture entails. The text offers fresh readings of autobiographies by Roland Barthes, Nathalie Sarraute, William Maxwell, Henry James, Ronald Fraser, Richard Rodriguez, Henry Adams, Patricia Hampl, John Updike, James McConkey and Lillian Hellman.
