LITERATURE

AUTOFICTION

This brand new term in literature was first spotted in the late 70s when the Serge Doubrovsky wrote his novel Fils. And bacame more popular with the book Gomorrah from Roberto Saviano in which he denounces crimes from the Sicilian mafia.
This term of literature is based in the idea of placing the writer in a fiction, acting and developing it as a character. In the case of Gomorrah, Saviano places him self in a true story in Naples and he manages to be so true in it that he was forced to leave the country in order to maintain his life. Doubrovsky, on the other hand, used of a much more sutile approach, he writes an untrue bibliography.
Another similar term is the FACTION, is a neologism in literature describes a text as based on real historical figures, and actual events, woven together with fictitious allegations.
