The heroes of this literary cross‑genre are artistic projections of the authors, similar while at the same time not similar to their creators. This article presents the female protagonists of two of the most notable autofiction novels of recent years – There Was No Adderall in the Soviet Union (2017) by Olga Breininger and Wound (2021) by Oksana Vasyakina. In addition, the article describes the different life path trajectories of the young heroines. If the journey of Breininger’s artistic projection leads to self‑destruction, then the wanderings of Vasyakina’s artistic projection lead her home.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Life Path Trajectories of Female Authors’ Artistic Projections.
