Description

Through the memoirs of contemporaries and pieces of her autobiography, Nancy Miller explores the unexpected ways that the stories of other people's lives give meaning to our own. "But Enough About Me" is a group biography, or even an ethnography, of women, primarily middle-class and urban, now in their fifties and sixties. The book also mounts a defence of the memoir against accusations of terminal narcissism by showing how the forms of life writing - memoirs, diaries, essays - are as much about others as they are about their authors.

Author Biography:
