Summary/Abstract: In 1977, Serge Doubrovsky invented the term autofiction to qualify his own practice initiated in Fils. In the "please insert" part it reads: "Fiction, events and strictly real facts; if you like, autofiction of having entrusted the language of an adventure to the adventure of language, outside the wisdom and syntax of the novel, traditional or new ". Being situated both in fiction and in reality, the issue of autofiction is above all literary. In fact, postmodern literary criticism seeks to delimit the boundaries of this new literary object. Thus, to carry out this research we chose three autofiction authors: Philippe Forest, Marie Darrieussecq and Serge Doubrovsky. Everyone has their own theory of autofiction and puts it into practice through the following works: The Eternal Child, Son and The Baby. One wonders why autofiction authors feel the need to go through theory to accompany their stories.
