Abstract
In this article, through the use of several narrative devices, the author reflects on how the past remains in the present and shapes the future. Using the metaphor of locating oneself on a writing-map, she writes about fact and fiction, autobiography, and coauthor ship. The author finds that writing about one's spatial-temporal locations is a powerful tool for the relocation of the self—physically, symbolically, and emotionally.Keywords
