[Reality and fiction in the autobiography] How does the autobiography reproduce its author’s life? What kind of reality and truth does the author investigate? Does his reconstruction accept imagination? And where does the narrative of fiction find its contents? Is the author’s biography part of the fictional plot? Quoting Sigmund Freud, Groucho Marx, David Metzinger, David Foster Wallace, Wilfred Bion and Albert Camus among the others, in this article, we have underlined how reality and fiction can meet in both the types of narrative. We have also studied the trans-autobiographical narrative in which the autobiography intentionally encounters the fiction, and have analysed its reparative effects.

Abstract
[Reality and fiction in the autobiography] How does the autobiography reproduce its author’s life? What kind of reality and truth does the author investigate? Does his reconstruction accept imagination? And where does the narrative of fiction find its contents? Is the author’s biography part of the fictional plot? Quoting Sigmund Freud, Groucho Marx, David Metzinger, David Foster Wallace, Wilfred Bion and Albert Camus among the others, in this article, we have underlined how reality and fiction can meet in both the types of narrative. We have also studied the trans-autobiographical narrative in which the autobiography intentionally encounters the fiction, and have analysed its reparative effects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
