In this essay, we attempt an interpretation of the postmodernist literary discourse from the perspective of image, imaginary and character. As hyposthases of a self-generative type of fiction in Mircea Cartarescu’s postmodernist discourse, the body as text and the text as body are reccuring themes. The text is a written simulation of the materiality of the body, throught the lines of which the image of the author allows itself to be seen programaticaly. Approached from the point of view of the fascination exercised by the transformation of the body into letter upon the postmodernist writer, the theme of corporality unveils spectacular depths. This is the reading we propose for Mircea Cartarescu’s shortstory.
