This book depicts the emotional battle for understanding and honesty within the conventional boundaries of higher education. Pelias introduces such subjects as autoethnography, autobiography, personal narrative, memoir, creative nonfiction, and performative writing. This book is an addition for all academic readers of autoethnographic or communications works as well as to the general reader attracted to daily life in higher education."--BOOK JACKET ER -
