In the “Literature” edition of Texte zur Kunst, we examine the emergence of the genre “autofiction”: a literary form that has found its place between the formally different categories of fiction and autobiography. more
We explore the writing of many prominent voices collected under the Autofiction label, including Annie Ernaux, Rachel Cusk and Deborah Levy. Their works are exemplary for the development of a form of writing in which the fictitious ego merges with the voices of others and in which these voices of society in general can stand.
