Abstract
Abstract:In this essay, I revisit the original autobiography of Fakir Mohan Senapati (1848–1918), serialized as Atmacharita in 1918. Navigating its complex textual history, I argue that Atmacharita, the first Odia autobiography, is a unique experiment in Indian lifewriting practice. Senapati produces an episodic autobiography written in the idiom of a memoir that sets up a triad of fiction, autobiography, and history, engendering a discourse of ordinariness.
