Description
Arthur W. Frank's The Wounded Storyteller explores the complex relationship between illness and narrative, drawing on personal stories from individuals with various conditions. This collection of accounts offers insight into the moral choices and social ethics that emerge from living with illness. Frank's work is grounded in a nuanced understanding of storytelling as a means of understanding suffering. Through his analysis, he highlights the power of narrative to shape our experiences and perceptions of illness. The book has been widely read by those affected by illness, medical professionals, and scholars of literary theory alike. This new edition includes a preface reflecting on the personal and cultural context in which the first edition was written, as well as an afterword that extends the book's argument on storytelling and experience.
