Mitch TeichNorth Words: A book about a book about a book... Metafiction can be a lot. If you’re not familiar with the concept of metafiction, Jeff Kramer’s new novel, “Mud Season,” is a great introduction. Kramer is a former newspaper journalist in Syracuse who previously had beats in Massachusetts, and California. The hero of his book, Woody Hackworth, is himself a former journalist. Hackworth, in turn, is writing a novel featuring - yes - another journalist.
