Neither a true, nor a lie, but a scripture that operates least in terms of what happened to the dimension of what is heard, the otobiography is a performance work. This article assumes the task of removing the writings of the comfortable post of literary genre - autobiography. Thus arose the analysis around the autofiction, here transformed into otofiction or performance and pure act. It is through these same gestures that Wittgenstein's Nephew is revealed, signed by Thomas Bernhard, the performance of this actor in place of the authorship of the one who betrayed the state of Austria.
