Zunshine explores how cognitive science, specifically its ideas of essentialism and functionalism, combined with historical and cultural analysis, can help us understand why we find such literary phenomena so fascinating. Gelman, Zunshine examines the cognitive origins of the distinction between essence and function and how unexpected tensions between these two concepts are brought into play in fictional narratives.

Mar 05, Craig McConnell rated it really liked it Shelves: Much tighter than Why We Read Fiction , Zunshine explores a number of canonical works in terms of their essentialist and functionalist use of language. There's still a tension here between her complaints about literary analyses that are not falsifiable and her own framework, which she claims is universally applicable making me wonder at times if it's not every bit as unfalsifiable as the earlier works she mocks , but the prose is lively and her enthusiasm infectious.
Jun 18, Roy Kenagy marked it as to-read. Another find from Half-Price Books. Should help me defend the thesis that a SpongeBob cake pan is a perfectly acceptable public library resource. Zunshine has a recent contribution to narrative theory - Why We Read Fiction: Theory of Mind and the Novel - that I haven't gotten around to yet.
