One of the components of research in comparative literature is to study intertextual relations. According to intertextuality approach, no text is self-sufficient. We've been tried to examine the novel entitled ‘kill all of them’, written by Salim Bashi , with Michael Riffaterre ’s intertextual approach , and with the aim of finding a hidden meaning of the text and Riffaterre’s binary oppositions forms. Thus, Attar’s ‘Conference of the Birds’ was used in reading this novel. In fact, the study is about the application of a story narrated in the novel of Salim Bashi which is based on Attar's ‘Conference’ of the Birds. In this study, we analyze the text and the words interpretants for reading and finding the significance or the subtext meaning of the novel defining the transition from meaning to significance. The findings of the study confirmed the hypothesis that the presence of interpretants invokes intertext. The significance of the novel by Bashi is discovered with a contrast look to intertext. It seems that we can observe the significance Attar reversely. The entire novel is the contrast between the concepts of self-consciousness and faceless human.

Keywords: Michael Riffaterre, Salim Bashi, Attar, intertext, interpretant
