Metafiction and the Postwar Novel: Foes, Ghosts, and Faces in the Water

'Metafiction and the Postwar Novel' is a full-length reassessment of one of the definitive literary forms of the postwar period, sometimes known as 'postmodern metafiction'. In the place of large-scale theorizing, this book centres on the intimacies of writing situations - metafiction as it responds to readers, literary reception, and earlier works in a career.
