AbstractRemembrance of Things Past tells tales of learning for the proustian narrator on his way to becoming a literary figure, a path fraught with much deceit that will steer its hero towards nihilism. Such will be the case until the very end of Time Regained. Proustian deceit will be examined first through the filter of the character's literary education, then from an autofiction angle. Indeed, deceit takes the narrator through a crisis of the subject, the only way out of which is through « autofiction », a new literary process whose name took a few decades to coin. What one could describe as « proustian autofiction » also leads the author to yet another concept we call « establishing identities », in keeping with the research of Sophie-Jan Arrien and Jean-Pierre Sirois-Trahan on the development of identities, and based on Anne Henry's recently published essay, The Temptation of Marcel Proust.
