Living with Stories is, first of all, a compelling read. The diversity of approaches to the re-telling of narratives and the variety of cultures in which that diversity is explored are remarkable. The breadth of analytical perspectives provides a unique contribution to narrative scholarship. Each author has carefully taken the tools of his or her discipline and brought them to bear on specific performative moments in particular culturally relevant ways.
