At the Limit of Fact: Faction in Studies on Contemporary Biographies

Summary/Abstract: Tabaszewska examines the ways in which life writing can be classified into biography, autobiography and non-fiction. One example of how the borders between these genres are blurred is the category of faction (a portmanteau word of “fact” and “fiction”). this type of writing indicates the possibility of a “murky genre” that purposefully oversteps the previously unassailable borders between fiction and non-fiction. Tabaszewska explores several instances where this strategy was applied, which allows her to formulate questions about the changes that are currently taking place in literary and cultural practices in the construction of non-fictional texts.
