With great imagination and creative power,John Barth subverts the traditional novels and makes anti-traditional attempts in his novel The End of the Road from such aspects as themes,manifestation, narrative point and so on,which renders this novel representative of early metafiction.Various anti-traditional techniques bring vitality to the dying forms of novel and set an example on how to create with the exhausted narrative structure.
