About the event
The boundaries between fiction and memoir/autobiography are no longer what they used to be half a century ago, as authors feel increasingly comfortable narrating their own lives, or confessing themselves. This trend, already consolidated in world literature, is now appearing in Albanian letters as a novelty in the status of literary prose, but also as an invitation to re-discuss the relationship between literature, truthfulness and historical truth, within the framework of new theoretical-literary approaches.
