Autobiographical novel An autobiographical novel is a form of novel using autofiction techniques, or the merging of autobiographical and fictive elements. The literary technique is distinguished from an autobiography or memoir by the stipulation of being fiction. Because an autobiographical novel is partially fiction, the author does not ask the reader to expect the text to fulfill the "autobiographical pact". Names and locations are often changed and events are recreated to make them more dramatic but the story still bears a close resemblance to that of the author's life. While the events of the author's life are recounted, there is

Memoir A memoir (US: /ˈmemwɑːr/; from French: "mémoire": "memoria", meaning "memory" or "reminiscence") is a collection of memories that an individual writes about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in the subject's life.
