Description: Two of the most prominent experts on the intersection of mind, brain, and culture, engage each other in a lively dialogue that sets out the foundations of a cognitive neuroscientific approach to literature.
Review Quotes: "This book of conversations discovers a superb format for the treatment of theoretical problems, for it allows its two authors, each bringing his own distinct perspective and background to the discussion, to engage with each other and zero in on an uncommonly wide range of aesthetic concerns--among many others, the role of linguistics in understanding literature and the insights that neuroscience offers to the arts." --Herbert Lindenberger, Avalon Foundation Professor of Humanities, Emeritus, Stanford University
