This article is a comparative analysis of two autofictions: The Trial by Fire (Die Feuerprobe) by Ernst Weiss and W by Georges Perec. Both writers, who are well-versed in psychoanalysis, decide to search for their unconscious by writing autofiction. To Weiss and Perec, only this process will allow them to access the memory that has stored traumatic events occulted by childhood amnesia. The writers share a phantasmic ¡ª?yet, anonymous??agreement with their attentive reader. In both texts, the analyst reader observes the figure of an inner witness who writes in order to capture a child lost in the writer's unconcious. This infantile part is psychotic, as it is caused by an early-childhood trauma, possibly the father's death, and it focuses on primary narcissism. It also involves an anal bunker that is supposed to serve as a protective barrier against any traumatic memory surge. The mental state of the child threatens the psychogenic integrity of the two writers. A clinical reading of the two works unveils the secret of autofictional writing: the inner witness, identified with Freud, becomes the mother/father analyst for the lost child. Thus, under the protective fantasy of self-procreating, a psychical rapport with the child has been recreated. As the inner witness brings back the father's law into the rules of language, the primitive scene is extirpated from amnesia and opens up to desire, even if only during the writing process. Thus, autofictional writing saves a precarious and borderline psychical equilibrium.
