L ’autofiction en procès : l’approche doubrovskienne

Abstract

This article offers a reflection on the issue of autofiction; this concept is arousing growing interest in the sphere of contemporary French literature. Critics struggle to accept a single definition while self-fiction writers have divergent practices. In this work, we propose to reflect on the writing of oneself as a staging of the (con)fusion between literature and life, in Doubrovsky’s the Broken Book. Serge Doubrovsky has always played with the mixture between autobiography and fiction through the lens of autofiction.
