  Abstract:  
Emerging Stories: The (Auto)biographical Game. The paper is an inquiry into “the game with the (auto)biographical”, as part of the Irish modern and contemporary experimental and innovative prose. The special status of these writings emerges from the self-representational impulse and defines a novel typology about temporality and time-control by the twin action of imagination and memory. The paper refers to the memoir as a complex merging of fiction and non-fiction in an interpretive field where the borderline between the historically verifiable facts and the fictive (constructed) events is unveiled. The Irish contemporary “memoirs”, containing a mixture of analysis and an (auto)biographical game, are viable responses to the emergence of the new and unfamiliar Ireland.
