The case of a twofold repetition: Edgar Allan Poe’s intertextual influence on Paul Auster’s "Ghosts"
View through CrossRef
The aim of the following contribution is to analyze the intertextual relation between Paul Auster’s "Ghosts" (1986) and Edgar Allan Poe short story William Wilson (1839). This article studies different aspects that Paul Auster’s novel has as a reinterpretation and rewriting of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story. Auster creates an intertextual relation with Poe’s narration in order to introduce certain aspects of his fiction such as the issues of identity, the concept of the double and the construction of Auster’s theory of writing. In this sense, this proposal presents an interpretation of Auster’s "Ghosts" as an intertextual and postmodern reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story.
