The paper deals with the fictionalized reminiscent narration (so-called auto-fiction) in J. M. Coetzee’s loose trilogy Boyhood (1997), Youth (2002) and Summertime (2009). The auto-fictional nature of Coetzee’s books is based on a double, intersecting pact between the author and the reader: on the one hand, the reader is instructed to see the narrative as a true depiction of the author’s life, but on the other hand the narrative contains marks of fictionalization, which call this depiction into question or cancel it. By this tension, Coetzee thematises noetic questions of the nature of human memory and identity, and reflects on the very core of auto-biographical writing. In addition, the paper briefly discusses Coetzee’s conception of so-called autrebiography.
