Paradoxes of emotion and fiction

A philosophical analysis of the puzzles arising from experiencing emotions about fictional characters, this book also considers other paradoxes arising from response to fiction: how we feel suspense over what comes next, and how we take pleasure in narratives that excite unpleasant emotions.
