I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography.

Summary

The quote suggests that the author is engaged in the process of writing an autobiography without the permission or approval of the subject. Through the choice of words, the author hints at a rebellious or daring act, unyielding to traditional boundaries or social norms. This declaration also conveys the author's desire for self-expression and an independent storytelling narrative that may differ from the expected or conventional autobiography. By producing an "unauthorized" autobiography, the author undermines or challenges the perceived authority or control over their own life's narrative and seeks to present their story in an uninhibited and unfiltered manner.
