A creative piece, two book reviews, and a new section

We are pleased to announce that the fourth batch of the current volume (14) of the European Journal of Life Writing is now online.

Added to the 2025 edition of our journal is a creative piece: "A Cloak for Courage in the Anthropocene" by Kay Syrad.

Also available now are two book reviews:
- "Jarmila Mildorf, Life Storying in Oral History. Fictional Contamination and Literary Complexity" by Zuzana Fonioková.
- "Helena Duffy and Avril Tynan (eds.), Trauma, Ethics, Hermeneutics: Essays in Honour of Colin Davis" by Sjoerd-Jeroen Moenandar.

Finally, this batch also includes the first contribution to an exciting new section of the journal, titled "EJLW in Conversation". Over the coming months, we plan to publish a series of interviews in this section with foundational figures in the international life writing community. The very first interview is with Monica Soeting, one of the founders of our journal and IABA/Europe. Be sure to check it out!

"'A Good Biographer Does Not Take the Easy Way'. In Conversation with Monica Soeting" by Sjoerd-Jeroen Moenandar.

More publications will follow throughout the coming months.

On behalf of the editorial team,
