Summary/Abstract: In this paper we intend to follow how Mircea Cărtărescu’s discourse is built in a text written specifically for children and, at the same time, to identify whether there are elements of continuity between the type of writing which consecrated the author and such text intended for children. Thus, what interests us at the end of this work is the identification of the way the childhood universe is rebuilt and the analysis of the application of the postmodernist narrative techniques. As in the consecrated texts, Mircea Cărtărescu also gives a special attention to the structure of the text and discourse, managing to build a dense story with multiple levels of interpretation, even if it is a text dedicated to children. Built on the scheme of the story in the frame, Florin scrie un roman is a fine example of how a postmodern writer builds a text for children reader without indicating the used processes and without naming the features of postmodernism.
