Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the novel of Mihai Zamfir, Late Education, seeking as main aspect the inclusion of the text in the second person prose. Two major issues are followed during the undertaken analysis: the quality of the person and the intersubjectivity process. The text uses the narrative perspective specific for the narrative-You: a narrator speaks of himself using the second person, making use of a certain distance in relation with his acts and his thoughts, were the „I” is transformed into „YOU”. It produces a complex process of intersubjectivity: a indeterminate and multiple mixture of subjectivity between the narrator, the narrative and the protagonist. All narrative instances are interdependent and become a closed system, but sometimes suffer from a "fragile intersubjectivity". So, this article demonstrates and analyzes the way in which the intersubjectivity process takes place and act in the novel of Mihai Zamfir, a Romanian innovator text.
