In these novels, the protagonists overcome their family doctrines to fulfill their wishes. These two novels exhibit the subject of postmodern metafiction through her writings.

This form of fiction accentuates its construct and reminds the readers to be aware of a fictional work. Metafiction is self-conscious in relation to language, literary form, and storytelling in fiction. She lives in Chennai.This study aims to spotlight the postmodern tendency of metafiction in Preeti Shenoy's selected texts. She is currently working on her novel, Gypsy Goddess. Meena Kandasamy is a poet and translator who has performed widely in venues across the world. The poet interrogates the tenets of a solipsistic modernism to create a counterpoetic community speech brimming with emancipatory energy. She de-romanticises the world and de-mythifies religious and literary traditions by re-appropriating the hegemonic language in a heretical gesture of Promethean love for the dispossessed. She uses words, images and metaphors as tools of subversion, asserting, in the process, her caste, gender and regional identities while also transcending them through the shared spaces of her socioaesthetic practice. The poet stands myths and legends on their head to expose their regressive core. These caustic poems with their black humour, sharp sarcasm, tart repartees, semantic puns and semiotic plays irritate, shock and sting the readers until they are provoked into rethinking the ‘time-honoured’ traditions and entrenched hierarchies at work in contemporary society. Meena Kandasamy’s full-blooded and highly experimental poems challenge the dominant mode in contemporary Indian poetry in English: status-quoist, depoliticised, neatly sterilised.
