This article is based on the hypothesis that Catherine Mavrikakis’s debut novel Deuils cannibales et mélancoliques (A cannibal and melancholy mourning, 2000), with its many autobiographic features, should not be treated as a mere therapeutic piece of writing. The introductory section takes a closer look at the auto-fictional practices of this contemporary Quebec writer. Subsequently, the article demonstrates that the novel’s preoccupation with mourning represents an original way of approaching life from the perspective of finitude and enables Mavrikakis, who is stuck in an identity crisis, to question her becoming a writer through a network of both real and imaginary relationships.

This article deals with five longer prose works of the German-language author of Austrian origin, Melitta Breznik (b. 1961). It aims to situate the texts in the context of specifically selected current theoretical concepts on autobiographical and auto-fictional writing and to point out their specific features through a differentiated approach. The study will illustrate some possibilities of narrative self-design, based on this contemporary author, psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
