Limited Break:The Development And Reflection Of Metafictional Writing

Metafiction,which means "fiction about fiction",represents a new perspective of fiction's self-reflection and self-disclosure.Its concept,which presents a postmodern vision and tries to question the real of reality by emphasizing the fictional nature of the text,was refined by the literary critics of the 1980s.Accorading to researching three classical metafictional writing texts of Tristram Sandy,Les Faux-Monnayeurs and Never Any End to Paris,this papaer analyzes the renewal of writing strategies of metafiction in different literary stages and finds out their relationship with metafictional theory system.On this basis,it sumarizes the development process of the writing practice of metafiction,puts forward its bottleneck,and tries to find a new development path for it.Because metafiction represents a double breakthrough in the form and content of traditional fictions,which embodies the development of the ontological consciousness in fictions and provides a new perspective for its criticism and writing practice,it has important theoretical and practical significance.However,in the process of using the form of writing to expose the construction of the fiction,it also inevitably sacrifices the aesthetic value of the works.Because of the destruction of the plot integrity,emphasizing everything is fictional,metafiction inevitably contains the danger of falling into nihilism,and its broken writing form,which is difficult to carry out self-reflection in its text.Therefore,this paper points out that the breakthrough value of metafiction in the development of the fiction is limited.Unless it can partially change its point of view,and aling with the plot,the authenticity and the certainty of meaning,otherwise the metaphorical metafitcion will never be an excellent novel.
