"The essays here range from ... thinking on the nature of wonderlands in the fiction of Haruki Murakami and other fabulist writers, to how request moments function in a story. Baxter is equally at home tackling a thorny matter such as charisma (which intersects with political figures like the ... forty-fifth US president) as he is bringing new interest to subjects such as list-making in fiction.
