Metafiction is a genre of literature that self-consciously addresses the nature of fiction and storytelling. It often involves stories that reflect on their own creation or acknowledge their fictional status. In metafiction, characters may be aware they are in a story, or the narrative might directly comment on the process of writing and storytelling. This genre plays with traditional boundaries between fiction and reality, often blurring the lines to challenge readers' perceptions of what is real and what is imagined. Metafiction can offer a commentary on literary conventions and the act of reading itself.
