Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Bobia makes a plea for an enamoured reading of the second volume of Orbitor, observing its rituals and the unnatural talent of the writer, who transposes in surprising narration the fantastic world symbolised by means of the narrative butterfly. The reviewer starts from the premise that the aesthetic perfection of this literary project renders any type of analysis inappropriate; yet, he ventures into outlining a series of spectacular "special effects" that confer uniqueness to the writing.
