AN EXTRAORDINARY WORK OF AUTOFICTION weaves together global disasters, personal tragedies, literary feuds, family eccentricities, and the oddly hallucinatory nature of both serious illness and sudden renown. Funny, poetic, allusive, strange. A MINUS

Autofiction ~
A genre that blends biography and fiction. A novel that’s loosely based on the writer's own life and experiences, loosely inspired by the facts of real-life events."
~ Alice Kuipers
A brilliant memoir for the story told and the concept presented. Highly recommend.

@EricAlper "I ate dinner wicked fast and went to my room to behold what Chuck Gallagher had gifted me. I didn’t have a stereo or a boombox, but I did have a tape-deck from Radio Shack that as a little kid I’d listen to Books-on-Tape with. I only owned one tape of music—The Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which I considered their best album, even though I couldn’t say to truly know, as it was the only album of theirs I owned. I’d really only bought it for the song 'A Day in the Life', which I’d put on whenever I got that ‘I’ve got to get out of here’ thought running through my head. I’d put that song on and it would stop my mind from racing there. It’s like listening to a small movie in your head, especially the part where Paul goes into a dream, with the horns and all. The song made me feel like I’m able to do that."

🚙💚 Started writing something real.
No name yet. Just a story about coming home.
“My Subaru screaming down the road, me screaming with it, hoping the outersoul can carry what I can’t.”
Myth meets memoir.
Breakup. Bon Iver. Red clay.
Three bulldogs at the border.

Ce #récit, #Unedrôledepeine, est la nouvelle #autofiction de #JustineLevy. Il saisit par son authenticité. L’écriture est spontanée et profonde à la fois. À découvrir vraiment !

Quelle #autofiction de @JustineLevy ! Un écrit d’une importante intensité, dévoilant toute son intimité sans être impudique, sans être déplacée et sans être dans la victimisation avec justesse.

Samaël doit retourner dans le bassin minier du Nord-Pas-de-Calais pour vider la maison qui l’a vu grandir. Assailli par les fantômes de son enfance et les souvenirs des nombreux traumatismes intrafamiliaux que ces murs ont étouffés, il cherche à construire d’autres manières d’habiter le monde.

I "may" have drawn on autofiction for today's #30words30days story on Bluesky, where the daily prompt word was, Opponent! 😂
"We'll smash them."
"And crush 'em."
"And grind them into the ground!"
"Boys!" I exclaim, while driving my son and his classmates to their opponents' school. "It's a chess tournament!" ✍️
