The stories of our lives
aging and narrative
pp. 171-185
Abstract
This chapter advances the view that life can be understood as the implicit composition and recomposition of an autobiography, and that aging can be seen as an ever-changing narrative perspective on the whole of life. Among the topics discussed are narrative in general, life story, autobiographical reflection, and narrative identity.
