When a writer, whether famous like W.G. Sebald or Knausgaard or unknown, sits down to write, they don’t think about canons as rules or about their published work making them a canon of literature. The canons or a canon were created by the critics or theorists of literature. The writers (I am not talking about genres of Fantasy, Horror, or Science fiction) usually put a lot of autobiographical details in their fiction. Dostoevsky in ”Idiot” writes about himself; Tolstoy in Childhood, Adolescence, and Youth- his autobiography, and so on. In our time, it has become a fiction, but mostly it is based on a biography, as in W.G. Sebald's “Austerlitz” or “My Struggles” by Knausgaard. A new genre of autofiction springs in literature? Does it matter? Critics will decide… (Thank you for the beautiful piece of Wordsworth.)
