Series: Writing Lives: Ethnographic Narratives

Writing and Other Familiar Things: Autoethnographic Possibilities puts on display a number of distinct ways of structuring essays that can be used in qualitative research and creative writing.

The book takes as its subject an assortment of things. Part 1 approaches writing from a variety of perspectives, addressing distinct aspects of writing such as the power of the written word, the prevalence of writing in our daily lives, and the writing process itself. Part 2 takes on a variety of subjects, including seashells, hands, conundrums, masks, teaching, COVID, partners, hats, gardening, parents, politics, and hope.

By presenting various structural possibilities, the book might be described as a “how-to” book for any writer interested in a variety of creative approaches to writing essays.
