Abstract:
The problem of "identity" forms a central theme of much contemporary French life- writing, and within recent work by women writers, and writers from other minority backgrounds, the autobiographical enterprise is often conceived of as not so much a representation of one's life story, as the discovery, or even construction, of the writer's selfhood. This is certainly the case for the Franco-Algerian lesbian writer Nina Bouraoui.
