Description
Metafiction explores the diverse forms and effects of this popular genre and style, which questions its own nature, challenges literary realism, and blurs the lines between fiction and reality. Yaël Schlick examines a wide range of metafictional writings by various authors, with a focus on contemporary works.
This book delves into what metafiction can do, investigating its role in exploring art's place in society, conceptualizing the author-reader relationship, and playing with language conventions. It also explores how metafiction challenges the boundaries between fact and fiction in historiographic, autofictional, and autotheoretical narratives.
Metafiction offers an engaging introduction to a key concept in literary studies, making it a valuable resource for students seeking depth of knowledge on the subject.
