description Transmission, textual and sexual, is central to Camille Laurens's work, both in the kaleidoscope of literary quotations and interconnections of common French words at the heart of her non-fictional texts, and in the interweaving of relations within her fictional family histories. "Romance" (1992), part of the "nouveau-roman"-style 'A-Z' tetralogy, and "L'Amour, roman" (2003), in the autofiction genre, are particularly important in this regard. This article explores Laurens's partial rewriting in autofictional mode of the earlier, ludic family romance and reflects both on the concomitant shift in familial and authorial identities and on the role played therein by communication and language.
