This chapter examines the work of Abdelkébir Khatibi. It focuses on his first creative work, La Mémoire tatouée (1971), a text that Khatibi has openly acknowledged as autobiographical. The chapter begins by exploring briefly the problematic presence of the self in Khatibi's later texts. It then turns to the initial exploration of selfhood in the postcolonial situation that generates the writing of La Mémoire tatouée.

Keywords:   La Mémoire tatouée, selfhood, autobiography, Khatibi
