  An introductory analysis of auto/biography which suggests that the genre is based on fictions, both about the subject and about what is possible to know about any one individual. Evans demonstrates the absences and evasions, indeed the 'missing persons' of auto/biography. Chapters consider particular kinds of auto/biographical writing.
