Abstract
This paper argues that experimental autobiographies can help readers take the perspectives of others when the practice of theorizing other minds become, at best, tired, and at worst, dehumanizing. The essay studies two experimental texts: one that eschews the traditional means of communicating psychological character development in order to explore the world outside the human (Alain Robbe-Grillet's Le Miroir qui revient), and another that deliberately invests in the representation of marginalized persons as an ethical imperative (Assia Djebar's L'Amour, la fantasia). This confluence suggests that perspective is an unalienable aspect of human subjectivity, in literature as in life.
