Laurent Herrou, a young contemporary French author, has been writing what can be termed autofictional texts. In addition to a few novels and his Journal (2015, 2016), the text published under the title of Nina Myers (2016) is part of the literary genre of autofiction. This paper proposes to analyse some autofictional features with a view to unpacking what autofiction signifies for the author. For Herrou, autofiction allows him to be 'plural' or 'dual'/'double', to embrace the different personalities and moods that form his Self. Literature gives the author another understanding of himself, his body, of the multiple bodies in which he lives, in a kind of multiplication of the Self and of others. The apparent link with psychoanalysis, childhood memories and imagination in his texts is one of the main characteristics of Herrou's autofiction.
