Book Description:
|
This pathbreaking book looks at everyday storytelling as a twofold phenomenon--a response to our desire for coherence, but also to our need to probe and acknowledge the enigmatic aspects of experience. Elinor Ochs and Lisa Capps develop a way of understanding the seemingly contradictory nature of everyday narrative.
