The article offers a review of Mieko Kawakami's book "Los amantes de la noche" while exploring the cultural phenomena surrounding the reception of Eastern works in the West. It discusses a tendency within Western cultures to perceive anything originating from the East, particularly Japan, as exceptional, highlighting a sort of 'cipayismo'—a term depicting the blind admiration or submission to Eastern influences. 

The author points out that while Japan has certainly succeeded in marketing its culture effectively, generating a fascination that often leads to uncritical adulation, there are also profound contributions from contemporary factors such as the rise of small publishers and the availability of subsidies that have expanded access to diverse literature. This development contrasts sharply with the literary landscape of a quarter-century ago, which was much less rich and varied. 

The review ultimately asks readers to approach Kawakami's work with a discerning eye, suggesting that while she enjoys significant acclaim, the search for literary geniuses in every newly translated work should be tempered with critical consideration of the content itself, rather than relying solely on the prestige associated with its geographical origins.
