Considering the intertextual presence in Volkswagen Blues, the analysis ponders whether it is limited to this novel or is a manifestation of Americanness and, thus, a piece of evidence of multiculturahty in the hegemonic American discourse. In order to achieve this purpose, the study identifies in the novel instances of intertextuality which are analyzed within Genette's framework for transtextuality. The aim of the paper is to examine not only the relationships between Volkswagen Blues and its culturally diverse sources, but also to show how those multicultural intertexts permeate the road novel genre. Abstract : This article analyses the intertextuality of the novel Volkswagen Blues by Jacques Poulin, a French-Canadian take on the road novel.
