10th anniversary revised edition with new Introduction
How Fiction Works is a scintillating study of the magic of fiction--an analysis of its main elements and a celebration of its lasting power. Here one of the most prominent and stylish critics of our time looks into the machinery of storytelling to ask some fundamental questions: What do we mean when we say we know a fictional character? What constitutes a telling detail? When is a metaphor successful? Is Realism realistic? Why do some literary conventions become dated while others stay fresh? James Wood ranges widely, from Homer to Make Way for Ducklings, from the Bible to John le Carr , and his book is both a study of the techniques of fiction-making and an alternative history of the novel. Playful and profound, How Fiction Works will be enlightening to writers, readers, and anyone else interested in what happens on the page.Binding Type: Paperback

For the price it was a winner
Size: 23" x 23", Color: Beige
One of my pups likes to attack his beds. This is a fine replacement at a decent price. I will say I was thrown for a loop buy the way it comes in the package. Once properly assembled the dogs took to it no problem.
