WHEN REALITY CHANGES INTO FICTION: FELICIA MIHALI’S LA BIEN-AIMÉE DE KANDAHAR [THE DARLING OF KANDAHAR]

Summary/Abstract: When Reality Changes into Fiction: Felicia Mihali’s La bien-aimée de Kandahar [The darling of Kandahar]. Writers often write their works using different aspects borrowed from reality. La bien-aimée de Kandahar written by Felicia Mihali is a novel that seems to be based on a real fact, a story between two young Canadians, Kinga Ilyes, a young woman of Romanian origin, and Christos Kariginnis, a young soldier of Greek origin. This sequence published in the magazine Maclean’s was borrowed from reality by the author and transformed in a real literary work. In this article, we aim at measuring the degree of fictionality of the text. In order to achieve this, we will first search for the referential indices at a paratextual level and then analyse the borrowings from reality made by the author of this text, as well as their fictionalisation.
