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

Great Product for noise reduction in Auto Use.
Model: 36 SqFt(3.4 SqM)
I use this on many builds to dampen the metal echo in cars, vans, and trucks. Just one sheet in the center of a body panel is a huge difference maker. You can also cover the entire surface and get added insulation value. The noise is greatly depleted and it's easy to install with a roller tool. Looks Great when done. Good Product I will use again!
