ROMAN-FLEUVE:

1. A piece of autobiographical writing, usually more comprehensive than autobiography, especially as it is used in publishing today, often trying, and capturing, certain highlights and meaningful moments in the past, including contemplations of the events at the time of writing emotional and particularly capturing scenes and serieses of bizarre events documenting every fact of life.
