Examples of "intertexuality"??

Question

Intertextuality is the ongoing interaction between poems or stories."Dialogue" between old texts and new. When a newer book borrows something familiar from older, well known books so the reader can grasp a familiar concept/idea.

For example the novel "Cacciato" borrows the idea of "Alice In Wonderland" when the army squad falls through a hole into a "fantasy land", and they al fall at different rates - despite gravity.

Can anyone think of any other examples of this in books??
