Aftel, 20 years a practicing psychotherapist, has written a book about writing whose goal is increased self-understanding through narrative therapy, a way to see that you and the people you love and hate are complex characters rather than one-dimensional heroes and villains, a way to craft subtle nuances of possibility and change rather than awaiting inevitable tragedy or the happy ending that can never be. It offers a way to stop letting others write the story of your life. "Regardless of our writing talent, in our daily lives we are all ad hoc novelists."
