Abstract	Autobiography is an archive of memory. It is not a simple act of narrating all events of life, however, a politics of remembering. The writer has a variety of experiences and memories, but he selects certain memories and reconstructs them according to desired aesthetics in Michel Foucault’s words ‘discursive regime’ that is a political notion of the regime. It is a process of selective memory for the discursive formation of self. The self articulates not as a complete self but as a part of the whole. Each autobiography has a core motive, and the writer draws threads from the warehouse of memory which revolves around the desired self. To understand this conceptual underpinning, we do the contrapuntal reading of C D Narsimhaiah’s N for Nobody (2005).
