Some common metafictional strategies include overt commentary on the process of writing, the presence of an obtrusive narrator, dehumanization of character, total breakdown of temporal and spatial organization and the undermining of specific literary conventions. This book examines the most representative postmodernist texts and addresses the following questions: How widespread is the use of metafiction in contemporary Russian literature? What are its most pronounced forms? What is the function of metafictional devices? How innovative are Russian postmodernist writers in their use of metafictional techniques? This study reveals the unique contribution of postmodernist writers to the development of Russian literature through their systematic use of metafiction and their bold experimentation with new metafictional devices on all the principal levels of the text, including narration, plot, characterization, setting and language.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 340gAuthor: Nina KolesnikoffGenre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
