Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the transformation of the letter into a metatextual space which designates names of authors, titles of texts and, on a broader level, critical perspectives and interpretative angles offered by Liviu Petrescu and Ioana Em. Petrescu in the letters they exchanged. Extremely valuable, each page of their correspondence contains at least a title or the name of an author, accompanied by the intentions and opinions the two shared, always waiting for a confirmation or a disapproval from the other. This exchange of ideas renders the migration of their thoughts toward a critical reading and transforms the space of the letter into metatext.
