3.5 stars. Maybe 4 on a more generous day. Read for my thesis, recommended by my PhD candidacy interviewers. took me forever to read and unfortunately wasn't as helpful for me as I'd hoped it'd be. This is basically a historiography of auto/biographical theory. There were some good tidbits in there, but a lot of it went way over my head. Maybe it's one of those books that are so formative that we take its findings for granted now?
