Book Synopsis
This book analyzes the complex relationship between the fantasmal experience and the material text, reading a wide range of works that treat explicitly what is implicit in reading. Also, drawing on artists' books, drawings by authors, and films such as Prospero's Books, the author illuminates the process of textual visualization.

Trade Review
"This is one of a handful of books of criticism that has and wil continue to profoundly affect how I think about reading. Fantasm and Fiction makes a timely contribution to a trend in literarty criticism just coming into its own, takes a deserved place in the challenging and presitigious Cultural Memory in the Present series form Stanford, and provides stimulating and exemplary critical thought for all readers of literature." -- Henry Street
