Suomalaisen kirjallisuuden metakirjallisia tasoja käsittelevään teokseen sisältyy sekä teoreettisia ja kirjallisuushistoriallisia kehityslinjoja kartoittavia katsauksia että yksittäisiin teoksiin kohdistuvia analyyseja 1900-luvun alkukymmeniltä nykypäiviin. Antologian artikkelit käsittelevät monipuolisesti eri kirjallisuuden lajeja: kirjallisuuden metatasoja tutkitaan niin kokeellisessa proosassa kuin lyriikassa, viihdekirjallisuudessa ja lastenkirjallisuudessa.
