Abstract: This paper proposes a comparative analysis of two novels written at second person: La modification by Michel Butor and Late education by Mihai Zamfir. The romanian second person prose being a modern phenomenon that encompasses numerous examples in the Romanian literature also, has become increasingly appreciated. The analysis that we perform we will focus on how the intersubjectivity process is accomplished in both texts through narrative YOU, that becomes a form of alter-ego. Following the storyline and the construction of the characters in the two novels we will notice how the action is designed from the second person point of view. We will also try to determine the differences and similarities between the two texts proposed. Ultimately, we will identify the manner in which the phenomenon of second person prose has evolved from experiment to an innovative process in the literature.
