At the end of 20th Century, especially starting from 80s, a postmodern period emerged. As a result of the social and literary inclinations brought by the period, narrative world experienced a great deal of transformations. The subject losing its privileged place special to deep rooted narratives returns to narration with different appearances. In this new era, three basic trends show up: “The story of writing, the story of writer and interdisciplinary”. Dating back to old times, a theoretical frame upon autobiography or autobiographical novel, emerged with various names, was tried to be structured by Philippe Lejuene in 70s. After 80s, gaining its momentum from Lejeun’s theoretical framework, Serge Doubrovsky developed the theoretical basis of autofiction, a new intermediary narrative kind between novel and autobiography. This new kind, on one hand, hangs on to autobiography because it carries undoubted facts about the writer’s life, while on the other hand, has novel characteristics because of its fictional structure. With the participation of other theorists with the aim of determining the kind of narration, names such as autofabulation by Vincent Colonna and autonarration by Arnaud Schmitt have been proposed. Along with this hybrid kind between novel and autobiography, auto narratives gains popularity again with a postmodern appearance in the world of narration. In this paper, after having a glance at the literary approaches mentioned above, we aim to analyze the work promise at dawn by Romain Gary using this approach.
