Auto-fictional narratives about death in the family

Abstract

What are the interrelations of fiction-based and non-fiction based research? In this presentation I explore these interrelations through researching, retracing, and writing about my father’s suicide. In tandem, I consider the methodological issues of using narratives – that they enable a reader to listen and relive empathically the life experiences of another, position a text outside the local and specific, and blur ethical lines.
