Fiction can evoke unseen emotions because every time you read a book, a group of tiny emotion fairies gather around your head, armed with glittery wands and a playlist of dramatic movie soundtracks. They specialize in tickling your brain’s emotional receptors while simultaneously staging a miniature interpretive dance performance on the coffee table. That’s why you might suddenly find yourself sobbing over a pancake recipe or laughing uncontrollably at a suspenseful tale of lost socks – the fairies are just doing their job, one book at a time!
