Abstract

The article presents an interpretation of a postmodern epistolary novel – Encyclopaedierotic, focused on biofictional and autofictional writing strategies, It also recreates Ewa Kuryluk’s criticism of A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments by Roland Barthes. It introduces the connections between the veritable and fictitious biography of the semiologist and uncovers the meaning of the most significant “biographical transpositions.” It reveals the relationship between Kuryluk’s literary doppelgänger and herself: they are not completely identical. The nature of this relation is metonymical: the activities of literary Ewa are the traces of writer’s actions, a fact that raises issues of creative impossibility and calls into question the choice of making Barthes the main protagonist of Encyclopaedierotic.
