Reviews
"""Clark has assembled an impressive collection of 16 essays treating the broad psychological topic of depression and how stories shape and dismantle it ... This collection will further the current academic interest in disability and illness studies and will appeal to readers across a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences."" - CHOICE ""...this is a useful collection of papers that brings the discussion of the role of narrative of mental illness forward."" - Metapsychology ""The number of scholarly books on depression is growing, perhaps because mood disorders are now so common, but Depression and Narrative is uncommonly interesting and insightful. Hilary Clark has assembled a volume that focuses on how writers attempt to describe anguish that is at times indescribable. Combining theoretical sophistication and close reading, the contributors cast much light on a dark subject."" - Jeffrey Berman, author of Dying to Teach: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Learning"
