About the book >.>.> What do we mean when we refer to our "identity," and how do we represent it in the stories we tell about our lives? Do we choose and maintain identity, like a job, or do we constantly change and rework it, like a pot- ter's clay? Is "identity" a sustained private core, or does it change as circumstances and rela- tionships change? In this thoughtful and learned book, a founder of narrative studies in the human sciences and a recognized master of research interviewing explores these questions A through analyses of in-depth interviews with five craftartists, who reflect on their lives and their efforts to sustain their form of work as committed artists in a world of mass produc- tion and standardization. The artists describe their families of origin and the families they have created, and the conscious decisions, chance events, and life experiences that entered into the ways they achieved their adult artistic identities. Explor- ing these continuities, discontinuities, and unresolvable tensions in an analysis that brings new sophistication to a much-u.
