The article discusses the features of autofiction literature formation in the second half of the 1970s. The focus is on the historical and literary context, in which the French writer and essayist Serge Doubrovsky proposed a neologism «autofiction» and a literary movement of the same name to the scientific community and a wide general readership. Doubrovsky’s literary and critical texts were created in the context of both French and American culture, which shaped a certain spatiality of autofictional writing that predetermined the specificity of multiculturalism and multilingualism of all the previous autofictions, that had been influenced by «transatlantic writing» for several decades.
