Tiré du site Internet d''Incertain Sens: "Il y a des autobiographies qui ne racontent pas la vie de l''auteur. Impersonnelle, l''Autobiography de Robert Barry déplace l''attention du lecteur vers l''espace qui relie sa vie à celle des personnes qui font partie de sa vie. Les portraits d''artistes, d''amis, de membres de sa famille, presque effacés par l''impression pale, mais non privés de leurs couleurs propres, s''associent ou se heurtent à des idées évoquées par de simples mots. La vie (-bio-) de l''artiste (auto-) est invoquée à travers l''environnement ainsi retracé. Le lecteur est invité à la réécrire (-graphy) à partir des relations entre mot/idées et portraits/personnes, qui en constituent le milieu propre."
