Abstract

The following article briefly presents a narrative practice of biofiction, focusing predominantly on popular biofiction and its specific subtype, literary biofiction, which fictionalises a well-known writer. Once a general definition of biofiction is established, the article offers an examination of the role of referential elements, which are identified as biographemes – understood here as biographical memes – especially literary biographemes, which play a specific role in popular literary bioficitons. The features enumerated in this paper situate biofiction as a post-authentic practice, typical for the contemporary remix culture. In the final section, Poe biofictions are discussed to examine the emblematisation of the biofictional character and metafictionality of biofiction.
