AUTOFICTION IN THE BROKEN BOOK BY SERGE DOUBROVSKY
AUTOFICTION IN THE BROKEN BOOK BY SERGE DOUBROVSKY

Summary/Abstract: 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. We will try to show that this novel is an exposition of oneself, a life story where we will find the nominal identity between author, narrator and protagonist but also proof of the creation of a fictional and factual text at the same time. 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.
