| Abstract: | The present paper aims at analysing Gheorghe Crăciun’s novel, Pupa russa, from a multi-layered perspective targeting the naming techniques used by the author as one of the main ways of incorporating his unique concept of the body into his fiction writing. This is the novel where the naming practice, as applied to feminine characters, reaches its peak. Moreover, there is a tendency of following the path of highly motivated names for female characters, thus connecting Pupa russa to previous titles. The connections can be made at the level of internal intertextuality and it will open the discussion towards Crăciun’s last novel, Blue Women, but also at the level of external intertextuality, Leontina Guran as a Romanian Madame Bovary. |
