"This is the first book to look at the relationship between author and reader in terms of a 'game'. It directs attention to the various means by which an author will 'play' with his reader, and gives examples of the different degrees to which authors of all countries and of all ages have sought to puzzle, to intrigue, or to vex."--Back cover.
