Some examples of fictional compulsion of the Self

Abstract

The autobiography is a privileged genre that is involved in a obscure writing, in an existence still incomplete and conscious of the gaps that characterize it. The fictional biography, the journal, every group of writings about the self consist in leaving open the hesitations that are necessary for the creation of a novel work which coincides with the fictional and misleading recreation of reality, wouldn’t the writings about the self be, in a paradox, an open work, in the sense of being a confession that needs the other to have it definite value? That is the question that leads our reflexion.
