Summary/Abstract: Agnieszka Graff is an author of academic and non-academic texts. An analysis of non-academic texts constitutes a basis for an article which includes sets of essays, columns and conversations. The second factor which determines the order in an article is chronology. The titles of her books are the mile stones. This structure allows to observe self-commentary, references and aspects, which she returns to. The most interesting are those which can be seen as the signs of autobiographism – self-citations, first-person narrative, mise en abyme. These are signs which the reader decodes as autobiographism and which constitute the autobiographic strategy (prefaces, afterwords which include interpretative hints). The aim of the article is an attempt to answer a question about the functions of (auto)biographism of Agnieszka Graff. Analysis of texts is a result of a question why Graff reaches for autobiographic instruments and in which way she uses these tools.
