  • The hybrid nature of autobiography : James Ellroy's The Hilliker curse rethought as a Deleuzian rhizome
    Fabčič, Melanija
    Autobiography is a text type that defies classification in the sense of being literary or non-literary, especially in its contemporary incarnations; it is positioned in the interspace between the ... two. This position suggests a hybrid nature of autobiographical texts that - according to most theoreticians - manifests itself in a blending of heterogeneous (factual and fictional) elements. The chapter argues that the hybridity of autobiographical texts can also be understood in the sense of Deleuzian rhizomatics: as a multiplicity, a rhizome. To prove this point I chose to analyse the autobiography of the American author James Ellroy, entitled The Hilliker Curse (2010), by using the method of schizoanalysis. I contend that this autobiography (together with the previous one, My Dark Places (1996), as well as his other literary works), builds a rhizome with Ellroy's life and that The Hilliker Curse represents one of the plateaus of this rhizome.
