Abstract |
This essay examines autofiction, as defined by Serge Doubrovsky, in the work of the celebrated American artist and writer David Wojnarowicz who collaborated with the artist James Romberger to create a graphic novel called Seven Miles a Second. I compare this comic book example of autofiction to Wojnarowicz's autobiographical textual works and examine the differences between autofiction in a textual and a graphic format. Wojnarowicz's life is examined with special focus on surrealism and queer theory.
