Fiction, as a genre, is a tricky form of prose. It is made out of imaginary characters and situations. Often these are very disconnected from reality that the readers are almost always aware that they are reading a book. That however is not the case with Neil Gaiman.

In most of the problems we work with the true demand curve constructed from the reservation prices of the consumers rather than the “smoothed” demand curve that we used in the text. Remember that the reservation price of a consumer is that price where he is just indifferent between renting or not renting the apartment. At any price below the reservation
