Bill, I appreciate what you say here, and it adds a lot for me as I think
this through. Auto-Ethnography is something I am looking at in my other
work, and it moves into fiction, as well. The writing or researching self
is embedded in the work being described, versus that objective approach
that seeks to be clinical.
I have acquainted myself with this in recent days for other purposes. I put
that title on, and realize as you say this that it is probably something
that could or should be replaced by something more in the spirit of the
writing, and I'll do that, I am pretty sure.
Thank you as always for reading carefully and generously, Bill.
