| Zusammenfassung: | Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint and Woody Allen’s Oedipus Wrecks are autobiographical works that dramatize the painfulness of self-representation through a stereotyped mother.

Reflexive narrative strategies make her into the scapegoat for the author’s self-exposure to the American public. |
