Abstract
This article explores the difficulties encountered by
researchers as they embark on personal narrative study. It is based
on research conducted with Irish gay men as they reflect on their
lives, coming of age during the 1970s. Drawing on interview
transcripts and the researcher’s journal, the article charts dilemmas
of disclosure, rapport and the construction of the self in the narrative.
