The chairman of the Booker Prize Committee delves into every key aspect of a novel--plot, point of view, character, style, pace, and more--as he offers a witty and informative study of the art of reading fiction, examining the reasons why we read fiction and supplying readers with different questions to ask about what they read and the means and confidence to ask those questions.
