For both teachers and researchers in the varied areas of 'life writing', this volume in the Options for Teaching series is of tremendous value. It sets out to be as all-encompassing as possible in terms of its definition of life writing, and thus many readers are likely to encounter examples of various forms of writing the self which they have not previously considered in any great detail. --Ursula J. Fanning, University College Dublin

Howes and Fuchs have spanned a remarkable breadth in terms of where their writers come from, the sorts of schools they teach in, and the life writing issues on which they focus. The result is a veritable gold mine for both teaching and research. -- Susanna Egan
