Describing in detail precise differences between the psychological
experience of reading a novel and watching a movie, "Make Believe
in Film and Fiction" shows how movies' unique magnification of
movements produces stories especially potent in exposing hypocrisy,
the spread of criminality in contemporary society, and the relation
of private experience to the natural environment. By contrasts of
novels with visual storytelling the book also displays how fiction
facilitates sharing of subjective fantasies, frees the mind from
limiting spatial and temporal preconceptions, and dramatizes the
ethical significance of even trivial and commonplace behavior,
while intensifying readers' awareness of how they think and feel.
