metafiction

Beheading Altman could be made to work quite well if it had used the metafiction.

If my memory serves I think the metafictional aspects of Marshlands could translate into this even if the AI completely misses the metafiction.

Deliberate, original works of postmodern literary theory might be incomprehensible, but the ideas of postmodernism --- metafiction, irony, intertextuality --- dominate our culture.

I have a a music project thats based on the themes around this particular book, and the metafiction inside the stories in this book.

A piece of period metafiction set in 2003.

Haven't seen Asteroid City, but metafiction and exploration of side-plots removed from the characters are absolutely present in Tenenbaums (presented as a book with chapters) and Grand Budapest Hotel.

Hugely recommended to anyone that enjoys metafiction.

I love Ulysses and metafiction in general, but when people apply this kind of writing style to philosophy it drives me a bit up the wall.

If the AI has any real grasp of literary devices something metafictional like City of Glass could be interesting but an earlier/less complex example of metafiction like Marshlands might work better?

Beneath the precise framing and deadpan delivery that characterizes his work, the movie is wrestling with true grief, uncertainty, and the need to keep performing your role (in life, and in a metafiction sense, in the movie).

PKD deserves much credit in the high-brow postmodern canon too, and although it's not widely realized yet, probably has done more to pioneer and popularize truly experimental fiction generally, and metafiction in particular, than almost anyone else you could name.

I am not sure what you mean, Asteroid City with its complex structure utilizing metafiction to explore things mostly removed from the characters and the story does not have much in common with The Royal Tenenbaums other than aesthetic with its fairly simple and direct use of character to explore the individual and family.

Bethke himself used the phrase “self-referential metafiction” in describing sci-fi authors in the late 70s.

Also people should check out Super Eyepatch Wolf's "The Unreality of Pro Wrestling," which is a very good video essay on the fiction and metafiction of the genre.

"It's weird to see someone you think of as writing in a genre that kind of combines Dostoevsky, Kafka, and Nabokov with an almost fanatic pleading for empathy and communion -- described as someone who writes puzzles and brain teasers!" I didn't mean to characterize all of DFW as obtuse metafiction.

Metafiction isn't just for literature anymore.
