title: The Nature of Fiction
author:  Gregory Currie 
description: This important book provides a theory about the nature of fiction, and about the relation between the author, the reader, and the fictional text. The approach is philosophical: that is to say, the author offers an account of key concepts such as fictional truth, fictional characters and fiction itself.
