Summary/Abstract: In her works, contemporary Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb, known in Poland for numerous translations, often refers, indirectly or directly, to nutrition disturbance and correlates writing with physiology. Exploiting the strategy of autofiction and its psychological superstructure, author creates her own literary and non‑literary identity. The intimacy of anorexia experience, which is shared with a reader, gives even more credibility to auto creation of author. At the same time, process of writing remains in relationship with sick body.
