Abstract
Taking the concept of autographical writing as a starting point, I will discuss the importance of Samuel Beckett's late prose for Friederike Mayrocker's writing. My focus is on their continuous attempts at establishing a self and thereby challenging traditional concepts of identity. The question of how to constitute a self through remembering as well as through creating a relationship to other selves and to a possibly non-existent, but imaginary outside reality is touched upon by both writers and I will discuss their different answers – if there are any but the old ones.
