The urge to reveal one's self is primeval and ever since Augustine wrote his Confessions, this impulse has manifested itself in many forms of writings. An Autobiography is the story of one's life written by him. In the process of creating, the writer himself is re-created. An autobiography is like a mirror, a reflection of the person's self, which through writing answers the vital question How did I become what I am? Thus it is a voyage of self-discovery.The book deals with many such issues and gives an extensive and critical account of the theory and practices of autobiography in India. The desire for self-revelation has made many Indians turn to this genre of literature.
