Maps of the Imagination by Peter Turchi

I am enjoying the heck out of this book. Not only does it combine disciplines and subjects of interest to writer and reader, it talks in unique ways about form in fiction. This is especially useful after you acquire a certain level of mastery, by which I mean you might pick up a regular writing book every once in awhile as a kind of refresher, but there are few books on craft specifically for writers in mid- or late career. Maps of the Imagination isn't meant to be that book, either, but that turns out to be a tangential benefit of reading it. Some images below the cut.
