Autofiction

A genre that fuses autobiography and novelistic technique, where the author writes openly about their own life — often using real names, real events, and fabricated dialogue — but frames the work as fiction. The term was coined by the French writer Serge Doubrovsky in 1977, but the form was catapulted to global prominence by Karl Ove Knausgård's My Struggle in the late 2000s. Its defenders prize the radical honesty and form-mirrors-themes commitment; its critics see it as narcissistic mining of trivial personal experience for material.
