Fiona J. Doloughan

Radical Realism, Autofictional Narratives and the Reinvention of the Novel (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph treats modes of fictionality in contemporary auto/biography, memoir and autofiction. Adopting a case study approach, it demonstrates the extent to which contexts of production and reception are important in framing generic expectations with respect to the representation of lived experience and in helping to determine the status of the narrator as (fictional) persona or (implied) author.
