Reviews

the issues it covers are interesting and the discussion erudite ... it is an obvious must read for anyone working in fiction. It will also prove useful - and importantly accessible - to someone less involved in the literature of that area. So philosophers of language and metaphysicians, more broadly, should also be interested in reading this book as worked example of more general issues that they face. Nikk Effingham, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
