Sažetak
This paper examines the autobiographical novel Moja Zlatna dolina / My Golden Valley (1972) by Zlata Kolarić-Kišur from the viewpoint of the theory of autobiographical writing (Lejeune 1975; Genette 1993; Sablić-Tomić, 2002; Kos-Lajtman, 2011). Following the introductory
part, outlining the context of autobiographism in literary theory and practice, Kolarić-Kišur’s autobiographical approach presented in the book is thoroughly analysed by looking at the key settings of contemporary literary theory dealing with the autobiographical discourse, particularly with regard to the distribution and realisation of three autobiographical criteria: the relationship of the narrator with the characters and the author; the approach to shaping the time and designing the discourse; the creation of the component of the text including the narrative and the style. The results of these analyses have shown that in this work, the author created chronologically bound autobiographical writing in the narrow sense of the term, a fictionalised type of discourse primarily functioning as a literary metaphor of childhood and its specific chronotope. This is further confirmed by the very title, a metaphorical toponym that is in the symbolically and associative senses closely tied with the image of life and its socio-historic context tackled by this prose, especially by the first part thereof.
