Metafiction 

"Fiction which knows that it is just made up".

A story is a kind of lie we like to hear. As readers we throw ourselves into the world of literature and fiction to "escape" from the real world. Literature is a form of escapism. The authors don't declare to us that the story is a lie and so they make the story convincing and enjoyable to read. This is a postmodern tendency known as "metafiction".
Jeanette Winerson's "Sexing the Cherry" is a core example of Metafiction.

"Metafiction? It's a postmodern term that creates a world of fantasy and makes the imagination spiral out of control".
