Summary/Abstract: The present attempt aims at a reading with reference to the text – reader – reading relationship, on the one hand, and with reference to intertextuality, on the other hand. The main assertion is that, in order to be adequate, a model has to take stock of the paradoxical nature of the text, in other words of it having the same properties – being completed and endless at the same time, simultaneously present and virtual, etc. The codes in the short story written by Dinev mutually doubt their foundations – each of them calls into question the other’s cognitive model as if having doubts as to its own at the same time.
