The comparative analysis method was used to examine the intertextual references between the two books, highlighting the similarities and differences between the way both reporters present their journeys around the USA. The findings suggest that intertextual references blur genre boundaries, and that they can serve both as a tool for connecting with the past and also as a means of challenging factual narratives.
