The Unconscious Dimension of Fantasy
We made a decision based on the connection between the work and fiction. The essay discusses fantasy and its role in creative writing. There are two key essays on fantasy, one focusing on creative writers and daydreaming and the other on a child being beaten. The latter doesn't address the unconscious, unlike the former. The author argues that revealing fantasies can be uncomfortable, possibly because they are rooted in the unconscious. However, the essay fails to explore this aspect further.
