For any student or teacher interested in narrative, Riessman has developed her seminal work from 1993 into this updated handbook. It explores various modalities and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each – without asserting the dominance of any approach over another. This allows the reader to muse and apply the ideas to their own research and thinking. It uses multiple examples to demonstrate ideas and concepts. There is an extensive endnote section and bibliography to allow further exploration as interested. Highly recommended to researchers (new and established) who are interested in this qualitative research method
