Towards a Theory of Life-Writing:Genre Blending provides a look
into the rules of life-writing genre blending proposing a theory to
explain and illustrate the main regulations governing such genre
play. It centers on fact and fiction duality in the formation of
auto/biofictional genres. This book investigates the existing
developments in this field, and explores major criticism and lines
of inquiry in order to arrive at the theory of life-writing genre
play textuality. The specific interplay of the different generic
characteristics develops a specific textuality at the heart of it.
This is termed biofictional preservation (biopreservation) to
explain the textual transformation and the shaping of the
auto/biofictional genres. Written for undergraduate and graduate
students, but also for the general readers, the book further
exemplifies the theory in the analyses of different biofictions
about the American authors F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway
featuring overlapping and juxtaposed material. This volume aims to
provide a theory of this specific textuality in order to better
understand and approach the process in question as well as to open
up new horizons for further study and exploration.
