Rezensionen

Merja Polvinen's Self-Reflective Fiction and 4E Cognition productively challenges the idea that immersion in narrative involves losing awareness of literary form. It rethinks the act of reading by combining close discussion of speculative fiction with a sophisticated cognitive theory of narrative.

- Marco Caracciolo, Associate Professor of English, Ghent University, Belgium

Fictional worlds that pull you in by showing you how they are made, self-referential narrators and a double-take on perception through literary texts: Drawing on cutting-edge cognitive science and literary studies, Merja Polvinen lifts the curtain on how literature works its magic.

- Professor Karin Kukkonen, University of Oslo, Norway.
