Description
McCaffery argues that these writers belong to an international avant-garde tradition -- metafiction -- which examine fictional systems, how they are created and the way in which reality is transformed by and filtered through narrative assumptions. Tracing the development of these insights in modern thought, he shows how they led to antirealistic experiments in European and Latin American fiction and finally to the flowering of metafiction on American soil in the 1960s. He concludes that their commitment to the metafictional mode is the determining factor in their artistic visions. ISBN 0-8229-3462-0 : $22.95.
