Elements of Surprise: Our Mental Limits and the Satisfactions of Plot

Reading classic and popular literature alongside the latest research in cognitive science, Vera Tobin shows that a good surprise works by taking advantage of cognitive biases, mental shortcuts, and quirks of memory. She provides not only a sophisticated how-to guide for writers but—for all readers—a new appreciation of the pleasures of being had.
