But, the famous french writer Georges Perec and Nathalie Sarraute that the two are, in their books are narrated duet. Sarraute, in a book called Childhood, forced to use the first-person narrator's inner dialogue, dark spots and delusions that recounting every memory with its integrated. But Georges Perec, in his autobiography, apparently, from his childhood, the two narrations: first real and second, all of it is fiction. First, we think that in the second story the narrator does not have anything to do with child, But then we see that as an analogy of his life. In addition, both authors refer to the lies that are included in their story. This process is incompatible with the truth implicit contract. This article will provide a comparative analysis of the two works show an autobiography, which should in principle be monophony is why duet, what is the function of sound or narration second as metatext, and what's the role of imagination in the difficult process of recovery.
