Summary Annotation This is the first book-length exploration of the thoughts and experiences expressed by dementia patients in published narratives over the last 30 years. It contrasts third-person caregiver and first-person patient accounts from different languages and a range of media, focusing on the poetical and political questions these narratives raise: what images do narrators appropriate; what narrative plot do they adapt; and how do they draw on established strategies of life-writing.
