Fictionalizing Life Stories: Yukee the Wine Thief

University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

This narrative is a fictionalization of a story an informant shared during a research interview. The story was so compelling that standard social science formats did not seem to fit. Although the core narrative is faithful to the man’s account, details from the life history accounts of other informants who had sexually abused children and/or who had been sexually abused as children flesh out the present account.

Key Words: life history research • poststructuralism • postmodernism • child sexual abuse • writing social science • narrative research
