While narratives of disease have long been an important object of analysis in disciplines that work with narrative theory, the connection between health and narration has so far received little attention. This volume examines this connection from an interdisciplinary perspective, investigating the aesthetics of health narratives, performances of that narratively generate health, and the ideologies of a diverse range of "healing" narratives.
