Narrative informs everything we think, do, plan, remember, and imagine. We tell stories and we listen to stories, gauging their “well-formedness” within a couple of years of learning to walk and talk. Some argue that the capacity to understand narrative is innate to our species; others claim that while that might be so, the invention of writing then re-wired our brains.              In The Secret Life of Stories, Michael Bérubé tells a dramatically different tale, in a compelling account of how an understanding of intellectual disability can transform our understanding of narrative. Instead of focusing on characters with disabilities, he shows how ideas about intellectual disability inform an astonishingly wide array of narrative strategies, providing a new and  startling way of thinking through questions of time, self-reflexivity, and motive in the experience of reading. Interweaving his own stories with readings of such texts as Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, and Philip K. Dick’s Martian Time-Slip, Bérubé puts his theory into practice, stretching the purview of the study of literature and the role of disability studies within it. Armed only with the tools of close reading, Bérubé demonstrates the immensely generative possibilities in the ways disability is deployed within fiction, finding in them powerful meditations on what it means to be a social being, a sentient creature with an awareness of mortality and causality—and sentience itself. Persuasive and witty, Michael Bérubé engages Harry Potter fans and scholars of literature alike. For all readers, The Secret Life of Stories will fundamentally change the way we think about the way we read.    Ideadiezcom is and in to a was not you i of it the be he his but for are this that by on at they with which she or from had we will have an what been one if would who has her Make a Refundable deposite :: Express HelpLine Your personal information and card details are 100% secure About Us Recent Question User Login Security & Privacy Policy Question list Terms of Service Archives - Phillycom Archives and past articles from the Philadelphia Inquirer Philadelphia Daily News and Phillycom Brown_freq Compleat Lexical Tutor brown_freq worrisome worry worry-worryin worrying worse worsened worsens worship worshiped worshipful worshiping worshipped worshippers worshipping worst worst-marked Gates of Vienna After being taken down twice by Blogger within a single week we got the message: Its Time To Go Gates of Vienna has moved to a new address: Disability Studies Quarterly (DSQ) Disability Studies Quarterly (DSQ) is the journal of the Society for Disability Studies (SDS) It is a multidisciplinary and international journal of interest to Full text of "NEW " - Internet Archive Search the history of over 284 billion web pages on the Internet Opinion - The Telegraph 14 Mar 2017 5:59pm Comment: The Dutch election shows what will happen to the rest of Europe if mass migration is not addressed Books - NYU Press NYU Press Publisher of academic books and electronic media publishing for general interest and in a wide variety of fields
