Strategies of Life Writing and Autofiction in Contemporary Novel: Reading Édouard Levé, Rachel Cusk, and Ayşegül Savaş – Serhat Uyurkulak – Akademisyen Kitabevi

By combining close textual analysis with theoretical investigation, this book maps the formal and thematic shifts in life writing and autofiction in the twenty-first century. Through a focus on the work of Édouard Levé, Rachel Cusk, and Ayşegül Savaş, it shows how contemporary writers challenge dominant paradigms of selfwriting, replacing the search for a stable and coherent identity with narrative strategies marked by fragmentation, discontinuity, and non-linearity. This book will be of interest to scholars and students working on contemporary literature, life writing, and narrative theory, as well as general readers interested in the development of autobiographical narrative.
