pseudofiction

Noun CEFR C1

Definitions

Writing that resembles fiction but lacks key attributes of fiction; for example, an autobiographical novel

countable, uncountable

Examples

“The film complicates matters by casting Christine Hebert (a sometime underground filmmaker in her own⟳ right) as Pizzorno, with Moullet playing himself, thereby juxtaposing pseudofiction with pseudofact in a way that undermines the rhetorical strategies of both, leaving only a sweet, tragicomic pathos as residue.”
