i would forgive him if he was really handsome

I would be happy to have contributed that little bit to a work of great literature.

>>25114761
I would sue him for copyright infringement, violating my privacy by disclosing private facts, maybe defamation, and definitely for emotional damages so he never sees a penny, gets pulled from shelves, and he dies broke and alone.

>>25114761
I would respect the hustle.

>>25114761
I would ask for money, like at least a few hundred dollars

>oh no! people I will never meet might be thinking about me but probably are not!
I would have no problem with this and it is very unlikely I would come off looking good in such a work.

>>25114761
Auto fiction is literally gossip. It's the Kardashian for intellectual people. You would never find me reading that garbage.

It is the most comprehensive and successful attempt in world literature to capture the life and thoughts of a modern man as it is on the surface of everyday existence.

Dear Annie: I’m a senior citizen. Fifty years ago, another young girl and I were in a juvenile detention facility for very minor infractions that would not lead to incarceration today. I was repeatedly raped by two counselors throughout our months there. This other girl was not mistreated in any way because she was related to the spouse of one of the administrators. We’re not good friends but have stayed in touch over the years because of this shared experience.

She’s talked off and on about writing/publishing an autobiography, which I’ve encouraged. Recently, I met someone in her writing group. Her fellow writer shared with me what a traumatic life my friend had, mentioning the specifics of my sexual assaults, including details and thoughts which I shared and that she incorporated into “her” story. My friend’s autobiography relates my story as her own.

I was pretty upset to hear this. Not only is it my story and didn’t happen to her, but it wouldn’t have happened to her; she knew it couldn’t because she had a protected status.


I told my friend that I had become aware of this situation and she immediately became hysterical, insisting she was too upset to talk further, effectively shutting down any possibility of sorting it out. I don’t know how to proceed. It feels like a significant loss, to walk away from this relationship, and yet I’m shocked that she’s stealing my story and I’m stymied by her loud, tearful reaction to my attempt to talk about it.

Do you have any advice? -- Stolen Story

Dear Stolen Story: What happened to you was real and it was yours. No one has the right to take that kind of trauma and claim it as their own. It’s seriously violating, and your shock and anger are completely understandable.

Right now, the biggest thing you can do for yourself is set a firm boundary and hold it. If your friend can’t handle a face-to-face conversation without shutting you down, put it in writing. Tell her plainly that these experiences are not hers to share or publish, and that you hope she respects your wishes and removes them from her work.

Losing this relationship would be painful, yes, and it’s natural to grieve that. But if walking away is what it takes to protect your peace, it’s the right choice. You survived something terrible once. You do not need to endure a second violation now.

you have no idea how the law works.

Well personally I'd probably be happy. I'm not ashamed of my conversations if they are honest. I'm only ashamed that they aren't more honest more often. But nobody in my life could ever write a book like this with me in it. It would always be me doing that in the first place.

But honestly Knausgaard's family is not even that bad. His dad was obviously kind of a mess but It's not like I come away from it hating him. If anything it's a very real and sympathetic portrait of a troubled man. Same with his grandmother perhaps even more so. His brother is just kind of a normie but again there's nothing that makes you hate him.
It's not like Knausgaard is painting his family like they're villains who ruined his life. Because they didn't. His life is not a tragedy rather it's quite normal.
Most authors are drawing their characters from people they met in real life to some extent always.

>had published every single conversation you had ever had with him
Something like that isn't possible. At best they maybe half-remembered a vague outline of what it is you two discussed at some point. Maybe you told a story that left an impression, or there's certain conversations you had over and over as people are apt to do and you remember those more clearly. But ultimately anything like that is just a vague sketch at best that has to be filled out by the author's imagination.
I wouldn't be upset, because it would essentially be fiction.

Isn't that a lot worse? He could've missed the point of everything you said and show you to the world as a full retard.

>>25117092
Well, I guess if you look at it like that sure. If people are genuinely retarded and think that an author is accurately transcribing a conversation as it happened, word for word, ten years ago, and he painted you in a bad light that would reflect poorly on you, sure.
But when I read autobiographies and things like that I always do it with the understanding all the dialogue is basically made up, and instead just generally conveys what a person was like, or invented as a means to flesh out a story related to that person as the author remembers it.
