dc.description.abstract | This essay builds upon David Herman’s idea of double deixis to explore the ‘choose-yourown-
adventure’ (CYOA) form as a popular subtype of you-narration that foregrounds reader
involvement, co-creation, and agency. The central conceit from such instances of hypertext
fiction to self-help writing seems to be that you — the reader/consumer — have a choice. However,
in my reading of Alejandro Zambra’s Multiple Choice (2014) and Carmen Maria Machado’s
In the Dream House (2019), the false equivalence between choice and non-choice becomes
particularly palpable when considering the affect of the second-person mode. While the former
exemplifies what Irene Kacandes has called ‘proto-’ or ‘paper hypertext’ (2001: 200), the
latter is also a memoir. I look at the underexamined intersection of hypertext fiction and autobiographical
writing in the history of second-person narratives to restore the significance of
negative affect to critical discussion. The agency to choose in you-narratives not only involves
the anticipation of guilt, fault and/or shame, but autodiegetic instances of you-narration like
Machado’s memoir formalise Jean-Paul Sartre’s phenomenological description of shame and
Denise Riley’s concept of malignant inner speech, or malediction. | pl_PL |
