Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present a literary internet project entitled “Rivka A.”, by Régine Robin, a Quebec writer and researcher who creates short literary texts based on the crumbs of everyday life that she then publishes on her website. In this way she creates an “autobiographical experiment on the web”, a kind of literary blog that can also be treated as a literary game since the author, inspired by the works of Georges Perec, encourages the reader to compose texts in his own manner. Everyday activities, trivia, banal events, being the starting point for the author, provoke reflection on the subject of identity, memory, but also literary creation itself.
