MELITTA BREZNIKS PROSAWERK ZWISCHEN FAKTUALEM UND FIKTIONALEM ERZÄHLEN

This article deals with five longer prose works of the German-language author of Austrian origin, Melitta Breznik (b. 1961). It aims to situate the texts in the context of specifically selected current theoretical concepts on autobiographical and auto-fictional writing and to point out their specific features through a differentiated approach. The study will illustrate some possibilities of narrative self-design, based on this contemporary author, psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
