eds. Ján Jambor ‒ Zuzana Malinovská

This journal issue is devoted to the forms of authorial self-expression in prose works of world literature since 2000. The relevance of the topic is explained by the significant changes that affect lives nowadays. By means of different methodological approaches, the authors of the nine studies in five languages confirm that autobiographical writing and autofiction do not result
in straightforward life documentations, but in unique literary constructions of reality, coping with personal and collective experience, with liminal life situations, with the process of writing and literary tradition, as well as with the past or present of a given country.
