Abstract

This article investigates how the director Isabel Coixet has achieved the adaptation of the novel The dying animal of the American writer Philip Roth to the film Elegy (2008). It aims to examine how the Catalonian director portrays the American society by comparing the social status of the protagonists of My Life Without Me and Elegy.
