POSTMODERNIST BIOFICTION AND ITS PECULIARITIES
Abstract
Postmodernist biofiction represents a literary genre that blurs the lines between fact and fiction, merging biographical narratives with fictionalized elements. It serves as a medium for reinterpreting history, exploring subjectivity, and questioning established truths. This paper investigates the defining characteristics, thematic concerns, and narrative techniques of postmodernist biofiction, highlighting its departure from traditional biographical writing. Through a review of prominent examples and critical theories, the study explores how postmodernist biofiction reshapes our understanding of identity, truth, and storytelling.
