O'Brien's works are known as prominent examples of what literary technique?
Allegory
Realism
Metafiction
Gothic
Answer
Metafiction, as exemplified in O'Brien's works, is a literary technique that self-consciously calls attention to its own artificiality and the act of storytelling. It blurs the lines between reality and fiction, often incorporating elements like direct authorial commentary, fictionalized author surrogates, and intertextual references, to create a heightened awareness of the constructed nature of the narrative.
