But the book also explores the necessity of such narratives, as well as the creative possibilities implicit within the \"failed elegy,\" all while examining the various ways that self-destruction can turn into self-preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaisley Rekdal\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of English at the University of Utah.
