Abstract:A memoir that focuses on another person must try to understand and explain the connection between the author and the subject. The autobiographical emphasis becomes difficult when the author portrays a parent who is a literary figure. Such memoirs show the continuing struggle between a desire to venerate their famous parents and to reveal their failings, to blame them for ruining their lives yet establish their independent values and separate identity. In contrast to the polite, hagiographic convention of Victorian memoirs, literary parricides justify their sensational assaults on their parents in the interest of truth. Most extract the autobiographical elements from the fiction, but do not illuminate their parents' work. All express the struggle for power that the children win after their parents' deaths. Instead of keeping the flame of memory burning, these memoirs try to extinguish it and add a new terror to death.

“爸爸，你这个混蛋，我完了”：论文学杀戮

摘要：以另一个人为中心的回忆录必须尝试理解和解释作者与主题之间的联系。当作者描绘一位文学人物的父母时，自传的重点变得困难。这些回忆录显示了在崇拜他们著名的父母和揭露他们的失败、指责他们毁了他们的生活但建立他们独立的价值观和独立的身份之间的持续斗争。与维多利亚时代回忆录的礼貌、圣徒式惯例相反，文学上的刽子手为他们对父母的耸人听闻的攻击辩护是为了真相。大多数人从小说中提取自传元素，但没有说明他们父母的作品。都表达了孩子们在父母去世后赢得的权力斗争。
