Details	This communication will explore the concept of intertextuality in the novella by Mexican-Peruvian author Mario Bellatín. Data from the lives and from novels by Dazai Osamu, Kawabata Yasunari, as well as classics such as Ihara Saikaku and Genji Monogatari are recycled to consciously create a personalized ‘Japanese’ fictional world that ends up opening to multiple interpretations.
