<i>The Book of Other People</i> is about character. The premise is simple: make somebody up. Creating character is at the heart of the fictional enter ... prise--and this book concentrates on writers who share a talent for making something recognizably human out of words (and in the case of the graphic novelists, pictures). But the purpose of the book is variety; straight "realism"--if such a thing exists--isn't the point. There are as many ways to create character as there are writers. Edited and with an introduction by 2006 Orange Prize winner Zadie Smith, <i>The Book of Other People</i> is a must-have collection of stories by writers at the top of their game.
