The article offers a reflection on autofiction as a paradoxical genre. After introducing the definitional problems, the author analyzes the literary project of Andrzej Czcibor-Piotrowski, focusing on three possible expansions of the interpretation of autofictional texts: the category of seriality, the notebooks and unpublished works found in the archive, and paratext. He also describes the subject of autofiction as a “self” whose main characteristic is instability, in contrast to the subjectivity constructed in traditional autobiography. This is rooted, among other things, in the way autofiction operates in literary communication.
