John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse is an exemplary exposition of the theme of self-reflexivity and the metafictional nature of postmodern writing. Barth experiments with a new mode of narrative in all the stories in Lost in the Funhouse. The narrators of these stories do not merely tell stories but reflect on them and provide the readers with a detailed account of the thought process involved in the creation of the stories. Exploration of the self-reflexive and metafictional modes of narrative involves a straightforward dialogue between the author and the reader where the author becomes a character in the story and duly shares his creative experiences with the reader
