- Abstract
This article explores the political productivity of autofiction as a narrative strategy linked to feminist and LGTBI activism in María Moreno’s novels Black Out and The Skeffington Affair. Configured as a hybrid text combining fiction, memoir, and essay, Black Out revolves around Moreno’s dissident authorial figure: an alcoholic queer woman who challenges the limits of the sober, heteronormative bourgeois subject. Since what Black Out presents – similarly as The Skeffington Affair as apocryphal (auto)biography – is not so much the writing of an ego or a super-ego but the writing of desire, of the alcoholic drive that is shared with others – a «writing of the id» – my analysis moves away from categories such as autobiography or ego-literature, and studies Moreno’s narrative as a form of autofiction that pursues a queer nomadic ethics (Butler 1993; Braidotti 2009) in its turn toward heterography (Forest 2012).
