- Title
The Absolute Self(ie): How Autofiction Writes the Relational.
- Authors
Largent, Chelsea
- Abstract
The author argues that autofiction is a way to write the experience of relationality and that the narrative form of auto-fictive literature can mimic the instance of a selfie while also producing the desire in the reader to find the punctum from which endless stories of relationality can be told. Topics discussed include background on Marguerite Duras' autobiographical memoir "The Lover," and insight on Maggie Nelson's memoir "The Argonauts," and Ariana Reines' poetry collection "A Sand Book."
