ABSTRACT
This folder provides an overview of what a “chaos story”—that is, what one’s life-story turns into when it is blown to pieces by a major life crisis like infertility—looks and feels like. The text unfolds through a fragmented narrative that includes, beyond evocative parts, diary entries, poems, reconstructions of dreams, Facebook posts, calendar appointments, and lines from the researcher’s CV. This unstructured sequence reveals the contrast between the veneer of a jet-setting professor and the woman behind it who, despite her struggle to keep herself afloat, is gradually sinking into deeper and darker waters.
