| Abstract: | Several times in his career Roth has undertaken to write linked novels, therefore, this study focuses on one possible method of reading Roth’s series of novels for unity, in order to reach a pattern, a coherence, an overarching meaning, a wholeness and neatness in the design of each of the books which make up these series - this method is called intratextuality. First, I will define the concept of intratextuality, then I will describe the range of textual features it entails, furthermore, I will shift my focus to the way these textual features responsible for intratextuality contribute to the multilayered communications between authors of narratives and their audiences, and, finally, I will show how Roth’s most famous series of books (the Zuckerman books) can be read intratextually. |
