This book explores how the creations of great authors result from the same cognitive processes as our everyday counterfactual and hypothetical imaginations. Patrick Colm Hogan develops a rigorous theory of the principles governing simulation, drawing on recent research in neuroscience and literary analyses of works by Austen, Faulkner, Shakespeare, Racine, Brecht, Kafka and Calvino.
