Life as a Set of Games and Invented Stories in Lewis Nordan''s Fictional Memoir

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter provides an analysis of Lewis Nordan's fictional memoir Boy with Loaded Gun. In the light of the opinion that every autobiography contains a certain portion of fiction, the article gives examples of situations in which a person who faces themprefers their narrative power to real-life consequences, having in mind that bad endings make better fiction. In his memoir, Nordan uses three narrative personas: the "narrating I" who tries to reconstruct situations from the past as faithfully as possible, the "commenting I" who analyzes the situations after they are described, and the "fictionalized I" who satisfies the self's desire to spin stories with himself as a protagonist. The author's distancing strategies are inspired by comic books and follow patterns given in Eric Berne's theory of life games.
