520 _aAn analytic reading of three auto-fictional texts: Le Condottière by G. Perec, Les mots by J. P. Sartre, and L’aristocrate by E. Weiss allows us to shed light on clinical pictures proximate to borderline narcissistic states. These texts make borderline suffering palpable and illuminate it better than many scientific articles. These three texts also suggest that the tragic borderline occurs principally, in the absence of fixed and respected limits/boundaries, in the tension between a lost, traumatized child and an Oedipian child who has not given up on his aims. The analysis of these three texts also reveals the strategy of autofiction used by authors to resolve this unsustainable intrapsychic tension: their inner witness identifies with Freud firstly to find and bring the wild child under the protection of the self-procreating fantasy, and then to reach its Oedipian ends by stealing the pen of the father of psychoanalysis. An inept strategy certainly, but it enables one nonetheless to write, to live, to survive.
