Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to examine Bret Easton Ellis’s novel titled Glamorama in terms of intermediality. The first part of this work discusses the fusion of the fictive world depicted in the novel, the narrative levels and the cinematographic instruments. Subsequently, it deals with its screenplay-like narrative. Afterwards, it introduces the medialized world, the swap of mediality and reality, the question of the imaginary and real as well as way the cinematic narration works. In addition, the analysis points out the separation of the camera and the protagonist’s position as well as the separation of the narrative and the viewpoint. The paper emphasizes that the intermedial elements mean the imitationof the original media rather than their involvement. Finally, the examination focuses on the functioning of the film as a medium within the text. The visual and acoustic elements are identified, too.
