Metafiction is one of the most distinctive features of postwar
fiction, appearing in the work of novelists as varied as Eco,
Borges, Martin Amis and Julian Barnes. It comprises two elements:
firstly cause, the increasing interpenetration of professional
literary criticism and the practice of writing; and secondly
effect: an emphasis on the playing with styles and forms, resulting
from an enhanced self-consciousness and awareness of the
elusiveness of meaning and the limitations of the realist form. Dr
Currie's volume examines first the two components of metafiction,
with practical illustrations from the work of such writers as
Derrida and Foucault. A final section then provides the view of
metafiction as seen by metafictional writers themselves.
