Metafiction is a form of
literature that emphasizes its own constructedness in a way that continually
reminds the reader to be aware that they are reading or viewing a fictional
work. Metafiction is self-conscious about language, literary form,
storytelling, and directly or indirectly draw attention to their status as
artifacts. Metafiction is frequently used as a form of parody or a tool to
undermine literary conventions and explore the relationship between literature
and reality, life, and art.
