Editorial : "Empathy and the Novel belongs in the company of Peter Brooks' Reading for the Plot as an exciting and lucid reflection on empathy in the novel and on the empathetic effects of narrative on readers. Working at the cross-section of literature, neuroscience, and psychology, the book is a stunningly original, broad-ranging contribution to narrative ethics and to the meanings of emotion in literature, life, and human society." --Susan Stanford Friedman, Virginia Woolf Professor of English and Women's Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Drawing on cognitive science, narrative theory, and the sociology of reading, Empathy and the Novel challenges the received wisdom about the ethical effects of novel-reading.

Still not to bad but not worth all the hoopla from her colleagues.. Not recommended for everyone.. His first book was brilliant and put forth his ideas in a comprehensive way.
This book is ridiculous. For example, I can revise this review a hundred times and no one but me would know (although it's fairly obvious that I didn't). The last part provides further avenues of exploration: from collective overwhelm to identifying and dealing with emotional numbness (the reason many people think the have no emotions!), bringing this brilliant and valuable jewel of a book to a close. This book was a recommended text for my graduate course in "Electronic Design Automation". So far the deodorant is working very perfectly!. He also map
