Although implicit in many other types of fictional works, self-reflexivity often becomes the dominant subject of postmodern fiction. The narrator of a metafictional work will call attention to the writing process itself. The reader is never to forget that what she is reading is constructed--not natural, not "real." She is never to get "lost" in the story. Explicit use of metafictional technique stems from the modernist questioning of consciousness and 'reality.' Attempting to defend twentieth century metafiction, theorists link metafictional technique to older literary works. Some supporters trace self-reflexivity as far back as Miguel Cervantes' fifteenth century novel, DON QUIXOTE.
