Genre Blending: A Path to Understanding Life-Writing Genre Blending offers a comprehensive exploration of the rules governing life-writing genre blending, presenting a theory to elucidate and exemplify the fundamental principles that shape such genre play. It delves into the duality of fact and fiction in the creation of auto/biofictional genres. This book delves into the latest advancements in this field, examining significant criticism and avenues of inquiry to arrive at the theory of life-writing genre play textuality. The interplay of various generic elements gives rise to a distinct textuality at the core of it, which is referred to as biofictional preservation (biopreservation) to explain the textual transformation and the shaping of auto/biofictional genres. Intended for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as general readers, the book further exemplifies the theory through analyses of diverse biofictions about American authors F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, featuring overlapping and juxtaposed material. This volume seeks to establish a theory of this specific textuality to enhance our understanding and approach to the process, as well as to open up new avenues for further study and exploration.
