While I didn't read this book cover-to-cover I did find quite a few chapters quite useful in thinking about and designing my narrative inquiry project.

A great resource for researchers working with qualitative data.

[Jieun Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a most pleasing time to read this handbook of narrative inquiry because I started to, in earnest, think of the meaning of change in the relationship between the researcher and the researched and the number used and words written/told as data that I've collected. Had you been deep in thought of your topic(s) of academic research, play, drama, music or secret diary whatever, you would have likely been into investigation and interrogation of particular, local, and contextual stories disclosed around you where your participants live and labor as a subject rather than cause-and effect relationship and logical proof.


focused on the chapter 1, Locating narrative inquiry historically: Thematic in the turn to narrative (Pinnegar & Daynes, 2007).
