alatter Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 I am currently looking for autofiction novels by British writers. I know many autofiction novels by American, Scandinavian, and German writers but I need to find one or two by writers from Britain because I want to write a paper about autofiction and since I am studying English Literature and Culture I am only allowed to discuss works by British authors. It would, therefore, be of tremendous help if you could recommend me some books! Thanks very much for your trouble, I really appreciate it! Quote
Hayley Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Hi, welcome to the forum! That's an interesting choice of genre. I don't really know a lot about it, but I'm not sure it was particularly popular in Britain. I think Joanna Walsh should fit the criteria though? Quote
Onion Budgie Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) One that comes immediately to mind is Hello Darling, Are You Working? by Rupert Everett, which I read earlier this year. It's not 100% autofiction, but it does have a LOT of events from and similarities with his own life. If I can think of any more, I'll add them! Edit: I thought of another one: The Temple by Stephen Spender. Edited May 6, 2019 by Onion Budgie added a book Quote
poppy Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 The likes of James Herriot and Gerald Durrell could be described as autofiction (I had to look up the term, I hadn't heard of it before ) Quote
