book reviewAbstract
What happens to our understanding of human life when we attribute agency to the artifacts that represent it? Anna Poletti places this intellectually sophisticated yet provocative question at the center of her book Stories of the Self: Life Writing after the Book (New York University Press, 2020). With this question in mind, she invites readers to reconsider the materiality of life narration in the modern world.
