Metafiction explores the great variety and effects of this popular
genre and style, variously defined as a type of literature that
philosophically questions itself, that repudiates the conventions
of literary realism, that questions the relationship between
fiction and reality, or that lies at the border between fiction and
non-fiction. Yael Schlick surveys a wide range of metafictional
writings by diverse authors, with particular focus on the
contemporary period. This book asks not only what metafiction is
but also what it can do, examining metafictional narratives'
usefulness for exploring the role of art in society, its role in
conceptualizing the figure of author and the reader of fiction, its
investigation and playfulness with respect to language and
linguistic conventions, and its troubling of the boundaries between
fact and fiction in historiographic metafiction, autofiction, and
autotheory. Metafiction is an engaging and accessible introduction
to a pervasive and influential form and concept in literary
studies, and will be of use to all students of literary studies
requiring a depth of knowledge in the subject.
