Across four chapters, Claus Elholm Andersen shows how Knausgård confronts, challenges, and rejects the symbiotic relationship between novels and fiction, particularly via a technique of \"auto-fictionalization.\" The fifth chapter then explores the further breakdown of this relationship in autofiction by Sheila Heti, Rachel Cusk, and Ben Lerner, taking readers to what Lerner called \"the very edge of fiction.\"","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039811600727,"sku":"9781438495651","price":32.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/knausgard-and-the-autofictional-novel-9781438495651","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
