Metafiction is a captivating genre that delves into the vast array of its effects and diverse definitions. It encompasses a form of literature that philosophically questions itself, challenges the conventions of literary realism, explores the interplay between fiction and reality, or straddles the boundary between fiction and non-fiction. In her comprehensive survey, Yaël Schlick examines a wide range of metafictional writings by various authors, with a particular focus on the contemporary period. This book goes beyond simply defining metafiction and delves into its potential applications. It explores the usefulness of metafictional narratives in examining the role of art in society, the construction of the author and the reader of fiction, the playful exploration of language and linguistic conventions, and the unsettling of the boundaries between fact and fiction in historiographic metafiction, autofiction, and autotheory.
Metafiction serves as an engaging and accessible introduction to a pervasive and influential form and concept in literary studies. It is invaluable for students of literary studies who seek a deep understanding of the subject. By exploring the complexities and possibilities of metafiction, readers are invited to engage with literature in new and thought-provoking ways, expanding their horizons and gaining a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of the literary world.
