The autobiographical resistance of Mario Levrero: commitment versus autofiction in his diaries
Abstract
In the last part of his work, with three personal diaries, Mario Levrero problematizes the limits between referential and fictional discourse. The three diaries have been categorized frequently with the label of autofiction; on the contrary, the present work maintains their autobiographical character. Derived from this, these diaries are a good example to establish the limits between autobiography and autofiction, a confusing terrain in the field of literary studies. To demonstrate this, the analysis is based on the theses of Manuel Alberca and Michel Foucault, with the aim of examining the commitment to truth that the author proposes in his diaries
