| Sumario: | This text aims to reflect on the autofictional tale of Veronica Stigger, showing how the author overcomes this concept when verifying its wear in contemporary literature. For this, we will analyze three short stories by Stigger: “The book”, published in Sombrio Ermo Turvo, “True image” and “200 m2”, published in Os anões, texts that present themselves as parodies of autofiction. Thus the writer, when transmuting herself into a character, distorts her own image, in a specular process of her texts and authorship. When considering the characteristics of the contemporary tale and the specificities of Stigger's tale, we seek to highlight, taking as a theoretical contribution, above all, the studies on Vicent Colonna's autofiction and the essays on Umberto Eco's mirrors, as Stigger forges unusual lives for herself for show that everything is fiction. |
