Leigh Gilmore'S The Limits Of Autobiography Is A Fine Addition To The Body Of Excellent Recent Work In Trauma Studies, And Is Highly Recommended For All Working In The Mental Health Disciplines.... The Writing Is Extremely Fine Throughout, And The Book Is A Rich Cornucopia Of Literary And Psychological Analyses, Theoretical Sophistication, And Interdisciplinary Connectedness; These Treasures Can Only Be Suggested Here. Metapsychology Online Reviewmemoirs In Which Trauma Takes A Majoror The Majorrole Challenge The Limits Of Autobiography. Leigh Gilmore Presents A Series Of 'Limitcases'Texts That Combine Elements Of Autobiography, Fiction, Biography, History, And Theory While Representing Trauma And The Selfand Demonstrates How And Why Their Authors Swerve From The Formal Constraints Of Autobiography When The Representation Of Trauma Coincides With Selfrepresentation. Gilmore Maintains That Conflicting Demands On Both The Self And Narrative May Prompt Formal Experimentation By Such Writers And Lead To Texts That Are Not, Strictly Speaking, Autobiography, But Are Nonetheless Deeply Engaged With Its Central Concerns.In Astute And Compelling Readings Of Texts By Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, Dorothy Allison, Mikal Gilmore, Jamaica Kincaid, And Jeanette Winterson, Gilmore Explores How Each Of Them Poses The Questions, 'How Have I Lived? How Will I Live?' In Relation To The Social And Psychic Forms Within Which Trauma Emerges. Challenging The Very Boundaries Of Autobiography As Well As Trauma, These Stories Are Not Told In Conventional Ways: The Writers Testify To How Selfrepresentation And The Representation Of Trauma Grow Beyond Simple Causes And Effects, Exceed Their Duration In Time, And Connect To Other Forms Of Historical, Familial, And Personal Pain. In Their Movement From An Overtly Testimonial Form To One That Draws On Legal As Well As Literary Knowledge, Such Texts Produce An Alternative Means Of Confronting Kinship, Violence, And Selfrepresentation.
