This book is wholly original ... a stunning achievement. -Aaron Wildavsky Strikingly original with important implications for any theoretical or pragmatic approach to the definition and representation of truth-and its uses and misuses-in public issues. The book casts much light on the links between political, ethical, and literary discourses, a relationship equally relevant to specific processes like canonical revisions, and entire fields such as gender studies or multiculturalism. -Michael Riffaterre Emery Roe's Narrative Policy Analysis is a book I relished. . . . Roe is one of those really original thinkers who resist disciplinary boundaries, leading others into new intellectual territory by making fresh maps of once-familiar ground, revealing previously unappreciated features. . . . [T]he kind of thoughtful deliberation this book suggests might help us with our most intractable issues. . . . [T]his is an innovative book that would make a wonderful addition to any graduate course in policy theory or policy analysis. . . . [T]here are critically important lessons to be learned here, as we edge around the very uncomfortable common ground Roe invites us to find a storied way to share. <br> <br> <br>--Ruth E.
