Autofiction is a term used in literary criticism to refer to a form of fictionalized autobiography.Serge Doubrovsky coined the term in 1977 with reference to his novel Fils. Autofiction combines two paradoxically contradictory styles: that of autobiography and fiction. An author may decide to recount his/her life in the third person to modify significant details or ‘characters’ using fiction in the service of a search for self.
