This essay offers a new term, autopbiography, for thinking the writing of the Self in J. M. Coetzee's Summertime. Autopbiography is distinguished from extant terms such as autobiography and Coetzee's own preferred one, autrebiography, mainly on the following grounds: the autopbiography constitutes the ruthless, possibly even declamatory, examination of an author's life and work by the author himself. More important, the autopbiography is writing of an imagined dead self by a living self as a means of anticipating, and maybe even liquidating, the criticism of-the criticism that can only come from-the future
