Description

Grief Work as Autotheory is an interdisciplinary, narrative non-fiction book that tests the boundaries between experimental autobiography and life writing scholarship. Written by Meg Jensen, a scholar whose career has focused on how we process trauma through writing, this memoir explores the author's own experience of losing her sister to suicide. Bringing in literary touchstones such as Virginia Woolf and Vladimir Nabokov, as well as artists like Vincent van Gogh and Thomas Gainsborough, Jensen mines her years of research to bring clarity to her own loss and grief. Introduced with a preface by Julia Watson and including a separate essay on the author's reflections on trauma theory and life writing scholarship in creative practice, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of life writing and creative writing, as well as those interested in the relationship between literary work, trauma and healing.

She lives with her husband without whom no writing would have been possible, and two clingy cats who were no help at all.
