Fiction can arouse in us emotions that feel very real. Fear, sorrow, disgust, compassion – we all experience intense feelings through characters that are completely imaginary. What is the secret of such a strange paradox? How do writers succeed in submerging us in situations so unlike our own lives? And is there a point where the feelings of their characters can become their own?
