“Like no other work of its scope and intellectual rigor, this book showcases the unique potential of hypertext to transform storytelling and narrative therapy—not only as an authoring platform and textual format, but as a method of critical inquiry, research-creation and personalized expression: A must-read for all scholars and practitioners interested in exploring and revisiting a textual practice often misunderstood and underestimated.”
