Summary/Abstract: Literary interpretation is a complex art which always involves more than the work being analysed and can never be reduced to a decoding of the author’s thoughts. As obviously important as those two aspects are, delving into them exclusively would mean ignoring the author as a person, both in the sense of ignoring the influence of one’s life on one’s writing style and thematic choices, but also in the sense of ignoring the societal trends in thinking that inevitably affect all people within that context. This explanation was necessary as avoiding that mentality is one of the qualities of Rodica Frenţiu’s book, Yasunari Kawabata: Dreams of the Floating World (2023).
