Childhood Trauma and the Musical In-Between in Memoirs by Astrid Swan and Dory Previn

View through CrossRef
Abstract This chapter approaches My Last Book (Viimeinen kirjani: kirjoituksia elämästä, 2019) by the Finnish songwriter and author of this essay, Astrid Swan/Joutseno, as well as American songwriter Dory Previn’s (1925–2012) Midnight Baby: An Autobiography (1976). The chapter asks how childhood trauma narratives can be interpreted in the light of artist development and craft. It examines the relationship between childhood trauma narratives and the lack of music-related stories by introducing a novel concept, the musical in-between, deriving from Hanna Meretoja (2018). By contrasting writers from different times, it shows that the traditions of songwriting and life-writing share a lengthy cross-cultural history.
