Illuminating how these metafictional narratives attest to contemporary authors' continuous efforts to engage with time while reacting to the limitations of language, Lianghui Li incorporates established and emerging authors who practice narrative experimentation, including Laurence Sterne, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Flann O'Brien, Kevin Barry, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, John Banville, Anne Enright, Mike McCormack and Sara Baume.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLianghui Li\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer at Beijing Jiaotong University, China.
