Résumé

Nancy Miller explores the unexpected ways that the stories of other people's lives give meaning to our own. She also mounts a defence of the memoir against accusations of terminal narcissism by showing how the forms of life writing are as much about others as they are about their authors.

But Enough About Me Résumé

But Enough About Me: Why We Read Other People's Lives Nancy K. Miller

In her latest work of personal criticism, Nancy K. Miller tells the story of how a girl who grew up in the 1950s and got lost in the 1960s became a feminist critic in the 1970s. As in her previous books, Miller interweaves pieces of her autobiography with the memoirs of contemporaries in order to explore the unexpected ways that the stories of other people's lives give meaning to our own. The evolution she chronicles was lived by a generation of literary girls who came of age in the midst of profound social change and, buoyed by the energy of second-wave feminism, became writers, academics, and activists. Miller's recollections form one woman's installment in a collective memoir that is still unfolding, an intimate page of a group portrait in process.

But Enough About Me Avis

Miller's book seems more than its sum, larger than its slim weight in the hand... fascinating... poignant... looms large. -- Cora Kaplan Women's Review of Books A witty defense of the genre. Publishers Weekly Nancy K. Miller's new book is an elegant and witty meditation of self-knowledge, particularly for women. It should be read by all of us who are struggling, in these strange, loudly postfeminist times, to make sense of our stories as they have been interpolated by post-World War II America. Radcliffe Quarterly
