The Metafictional Muse: The Works of Robert Coover, Donald Barthelme, and William H. Gass

by Larry McCaffery

Book Overview

McCaffery interprets the works of three major writers of radically experimental fiction: Robert Coover; Donald Barthelme; and Willam H. Gass. The term \u201cmetafiction\u201d here refers to a strain in American writing where the self-concious approach to the art of fiction-making is a commentary on the nature of meaning itself.
