Summary/Abstract: In the modern interpretative practice, the limitation of the concept of autobiography is overcome by the use of the term autofiction. In both theoretical part as well as on the example of Faruk Sehic's novel Book about Una, this work will focus on problematic issues regarding procedures that help question the relationships between writing and life, reality and text, the author's fictionalization of oneself, the rejection of omniscience and omnipresence of the third person and entering into dialogue between the narrative voice (which does and does not belong to the writer) and the imaginary reader. The concept of autofiction – the new type of writing about oneself – is recognized in the novel.
