Do fictions depend upon imagination? Derek Matravers argues against the mainstream view that they do, and offers an original account of what it is to read, listen to, or watch a narrative. He downgrades the divide between fiction and non-fiction, largely dispenses with the imagination, and in doing so illuminates a succession of related issues. Num Pages: 192 pages. BIC Classification: APFA; DSA; HPN. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 144 x 223 x 16. Weight in Grams: 360.
