Lying midway between the many autobiographies written by cancer patients and an experimental literature employing fictional characters, there exists an intermediate form of writing: the transposition of individual illness within a fictional universe.

The cancer diagnosis that joins these authors to their fictional protagonists shapes the nature of this complex relational dynamic.

Abstract
Lying midway between the many autobiographies written by cancer patients and an experimental literature employing fictional characters, there exists an intermediate form of writing: the transposition of individual illness within a fictional universe. This study examines the novels The Dark Illness (1964) and Anonymous Venetian (1976) by Giuseppe Berto, The Visitor (2000) by Fulvio Tomizza, Thy Will Be Done (2009) by Stefano Baldi, The Thousand Year Old Tree (2010) by Pietro Calabrese, and Purple and Black (2011) by Rosanna Fiorino, as well as articles and blogs written by these authors. The cancer diagnosis that joins these authors to their fictional protagonists shapes the nature of this complex relational dynamic.
