Just started _Dreaming by the Book_ by Elaine Scarry and based on the first few chapters would like to recommend it to anyone interested in narratology or the nature of verbal imagination. Until reading Scarry, I had not come across any literary critics who have attempted to create a thorough synthesis of literary aesthetics and cognitive psychology. Maybe someone on the list will like it too.
