In the current issue of Texte zur Kunst, “Literature,” we explore the emergence of the genre “autofiction”: a field in literature that has taken up space between the formally distinct categories of fiction and autobiography. We explore the writing of many of the most prominent voices collected under the label autofiction, including Annie Ernaux, Rachel Cusk, Deborah Levy, among others, whose works are exemplary in developing a form of writing in which the fictitious ego merges with the voices of others, where these voices potentially stand in for the social more generally.
