Read More The breaking of the fantasy world with reality, the breaking of the boundary between writer and reader, and in general the breakdown of narrative brought about by postmodern literature, led to the formation of a special form of narrative in the postmodern novel called metanarrative. In this way, the author distances himself from the usual methods in the classic novel and creates an innovative and norm-breaking work that contradicts the well-known definitions of the novel. In this type of novel writing, the author's interaction with the narrator, character, narrative text and linguistic aspect is completely different, and all elements of the novel evoke deep social conditions and developments. What attracts attention in the meantime is the turn of Arab novelists to this method in the early years of the emergence and spread of this method in European novels. Considering the speed of modernity in the last decades of the twentieth century in Arab countries and also the compatibility of this narrative style with classical Arabic literature in which there is a living relationship between the narrator and the narrator and usually the narrator tends to hide in the story. No, this method was taken into consideration. A closer look at the history of the evolution of Arabic novelism in the last decades of the twentieth century shows the use of this method by anonymous writers whose literary position in academic and narrative research has been neglected, including the melodic melody of the Maghreb writer. In Ain al-Fars novel, this method is innovative and systematic. In this article, using the most important theoretical sources on the method of metanarrative, an attempt is made to examine the most important components of metanarrative and how it is used in this novel. The result shows that Shagham in this short novel, by creating mechanisms such as the entry of the author or narrator in the work, communication with the narrator and the fusion of reality and fantasy or storytelling, as well as the use of storytelling industries, try to create a metanarrative process.
