(Re)creating the Past: Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively
Original language description
Experimentations in (auto)biographical writing, including transgressions towards fiction, started to appear in the Anglophone literature early during the modernist era, and are also present in the postmodern writing. One of the examples of this literaryform is Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively, a fictional autobiography of Claudia Hampton, a former war correspondent. Claudia's endeavour presents her own personal history in a highly fragmented and ambiguous form, which disregards the time chronology, and repeatedly shows the same events from multiple points of view. In a truly postmodern fashion, the text constantly reminds the reader of how a subjective interpretation of facts is unavoidable and of how flexible the truth can be. The presentation shows howLively transcends the boundaries of the genre of fictional autobiography, and creates a text that builds on memories and at the same time casts doubt upon their reliability.
