such as Expressions: Literature and Art by People with Disabilities and Ongoing Health
Problems (Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, editor; PO. Box 16294, St. Paul, Minn. 551 16-
0294) and Common Journeys (Leslie Keyes, editor; 4136 43rd Avenue South,
Minneapolis, Minn. 55406). Storytelling also takes place in numerous journal
writing workshops conducted in all illness support centers I have visited or received
information from. The truly postmodern form of storytelling among the ill are
electronic messages exchanged in media such as the Internet. An increasing number
of specialized "nets" exist for illness stories. On Internet stories, see Faith McLellan,
