Twenty-first-century autofiction deletes fictionality and shrinks pronouns to the first person

Evidence

The immediacy style of autofiction and anti-representation directly repudiates this constructive departure, historically demarcating the twenty-first-century novel. Immediacy deletes fictionality: everything is real, everything is uncut, “fictional writing has no value.” Pronouns: “I,” “me,” “mine.” It thus negatively imprints the capacities of fiction we can contrarily esteem: holding impersonality at scale, pronouns “who,” “they,” “we.” — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 338

• DEFINE: Defines immediacy’s signature move — deleting fictionality and collapsing to ‘I/me/mine’ — against fiction’s impersonal ‘who/they/we.’
• QUESTION: Whose claim is ‘fictional writing has no value’ quoted from? Worth chasing the source citation for the Antitheory chapter fight.
