autobiographical novel

An autobiographical novel is a work of fiction that draws heavily from the author's personal experiences and life events. While it incorporates storytelling elements typical of novels, it often includes real-life details about the author’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences, blurring the lines between autobiography and fiction. The characters and plot may be fictionalized, but the core themes and events reflect the author's true life. This genre allows writers to explore their identities and experiences creatively while still sharing genuine aspects of their lives with readers.
