Published by: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego
Keywords: Małgorzata Musierowicz; writer’s archive; official website; blog; autobiography

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to compare Małgorzata Musierowicz’s statements regarding the motives behind establishing and managing her official website (musierowicz.com.pl), published on the site itself, with the author's reflections on her only autobiographical book: Tym razem serio. Opowieści prawdziwe (1994). The first part of the article presents excerpts from blog entries and accompanying comments published by Musierowicz on her official website, in which she discusses the reasons for launching the site and identifies it as a reliable source of information about the author of the Jeżycjada series and her work. The second part explores Musierowicz's critical remarks on her autobiography, which she considers too concise and superficial. The analysis of these statements aims to demonstrate how a writer can shape their image both online and offline, and construct an extraliterary archive that constitutes a valuable resource for researchers of authors’ lives and literary output.
