Abstract |
Reflecting the authorial self as well as their own production, autobiographic texts are often perceived as “narcissistic.” By drawing on narratological and psychoanalytic theories about narcissism and mirroring, this article argues that autobiographies can go beyond self-involvement and highlight the autobiographer’s search for meaning in dialogue with others.
