Reviews

...the nineteen narratives collected in this volume give us the professional-and often intensely personal-life of the discipline as told from the first-person perspective of some of its most prominent scholars...all demand to be read, not only for what they say about what it means to 'make it' in this field, but also for how such stories go on making and remaking the field through the act of their telling. -Composition Studies I just finished reading Living Rhetoric and Composition in one day...I could not put the book down. I read the whole thing, cover to cover, at one sitting....To my knowledge, there is nothing like this in the discipline....The contributors describe moments in which they were forever changed. I believe that many readers will be, as I was, forever changed by reading these stories. -Rebecca Moore Howard Texas Christian University I found this book intriguing, and more important, a challenge--not to what I think but to how I behave.... The opportunity to meet these men and women over coffee, so to speak, is a most notable feature that I find remarkably appealing. -Jane F. Dugan Cleveland State University
