William Gass y un grupo de escritores norteamericanos afines que desarrollaron el grueso de su obra en los años 1960 y 1970, practicaron lo que dio en llamarse novela autorreflexiva o metaficción, usándola como plataforma donde refl exionar con un escepticismo radical sobre la realidad percibida desde la ficción o la autoridad narrativa, llegando a cuestionarse la noción misma de literatura. Dominados por un espíritu disidente, estos escritores desafiaron el control de las autoridades políticas y literarias mediante la denuncia del carácter artificial e ilusorio del lenguaje de uso social y de la falacia que éste origina en el ámbito de la narrativa.Abstract:William Gass and a group of congenial American writers that developed the bulk of their work during the 1960s and 70s produced what was defined as self-reflexive novel or metafiction, making of it a showcase of their sceptical positions concerning fiction and narrative authority as a means of conveying reality, and getting even to question the very notion of literature. Dissenting and nonconformist, these writers boldly confronted the control of political and literary authorities, appealing to the artificial and delusive nature of language’s social function and to the fallacy it constitutes in the realm of fiction.
