Finding Truth in Fiction

In Finding Truth in Fiction, two media psychologists reveal that there's much more to our desire to seek out stories in film, TV, and books than simple diversion--fiction can help us find truth in our real lives. By exploring our relationship with fictional stories and characters, the authors will examine the influence of fiction on our identities, the paradox of trying to separate actors from the roles they play, and the types of stories we are drawn to over and over.
