The purpose of this paper is to read Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body as metafiction which includes postmodern viewpoints and forms. Metafiction is specially fiction about fiction and a type of fiction which self-consciously and systematically draws attention to its status as an artifact in posing questions about relationship between fiction and reality. In this novel the first-person narrator ‘I’ attempts to write love of Louise who is his/her lover as a metaphorical text. Louise or her body is a kind of another text in the novel. He/she tries to avoid cliches and find unique and new ways in expressing his/her love of Louise. According to these efforts. ‘I’ examines various narrative strategies in order to achieve it such as forms of playwrights, medical journals and reports, introduction of the vague narrator, and open ending, etc... However, he/she couldn’t escape from existing discourses because he/she could only represent self-reflective reality. Nevertheless, its deconstructive fictional forms offer us new recognition of the world. This is the main aim of metafiction which is in accordance with postmodern standpoints as a fictional form
