example 1: you gonna write one of your metafiction blog posts about how last night with that girl turned out? too bad she ditched you. n-body on the internet has to know that though.

“fiction which knows that it is just made up”.

a story is a kind of lie we like to hear. as readers we throw ourselves into the world of literature and fiction to “escape” from the real world. literature is a form of escapism. the authors don’t declare to us that the story is a lie and so they make the story convincing and enjoyable to read. this is a postmodern tendency known as “metafiction”.
jeanette winerson’s “s-xing the cherry” is a core example of metafiction.

“metafiction? it’s a postmodern term that creates a world of fantasy and makes the imagination spiral out of control”.
