Academic paradigms have shifted There is a growing narrative moment Despite that entrenched antinarrative views continue to make alignment with the narrative camp a troubling prospect Gian Pagnucci lends support to those who desire to save the storyto use narrative ways of knowing in their teaching and research He demonstrates how narrative inquiry and analysis are valid and important parts of the English discipline too much so to be lost to academic politicking Creative and engaging Pagnuccis approach carefully blends story poem and theory By using multiple genres he adds weight to the argument that essayistic literacy is not the exclusive means by which we can disseminate knowledge In addition Pagnucci artfully combines ideas and quotes in two short Interludes collages of interpretations of narrative theory and teaching practice These add further proof to his point that narrative theory builds on a spirit of collaboration on a real need to exchange stories to make meaning Pagnucci pictures a world in which teachers and students leave their assigned roles behind Instead they become costorytellers When that happens education becomes more than meaningfulit becomes more enjoyable And thats the true beginning of living the narrative life
