This essay examines Caryl Phillips’s biofiction, A View of the Empire at Sunset that describes Jean Rhys’s life, paying particular attention to the convergence of the biographical and the autobiographical. Discussions on biofiction have often reinstated the binary oppositions of history/biography, fact/fiction, or biography/novel. Phillips’s biofiction, however, calls such binaries into question by drawing upon actual events and real characters in Rhys’s (or Gwen’s to use her birth name) life while empathetically recreating her emotions. A View of the Empire at Sunset depicts Gwen’s trip to Dominica with her British husband that actually took place in 1936 in order to explore the diasporic state of homelessness. By comparing Phillips’s biofiction and Rhys’s autobiographical accounts of her homecoming, I contend that A View of the Empire at Sunset describes much more acutely Gwen’s anxiety over rendering her diasporic experience understandable to English people than Rhys’s writings. As a migrant writer born in the Caribbean and raised in England, Phillips exploits Rhys’s life ambivalently located in-between the Caribbean and England and addresses his own sense of homelessness and the burden of representation. In conclusion, A View of the Empire at Sunset offers a (self-)portrait of a diasporic writer, thus making the text both biographical and autobiographical.
