One of the books often cited in other works on writing fiction, and after reading it I can see why. This is a great exploration of the structuring of successful stories. It focuses on playwriting, but almost everything the author says applies equally well to writing novels, short stories, or screenplays.
Essentially, Egri explores the psychology of both characters and audience and how they interact. He devotes quite a few very short chapters to specific and detailed aspects of storytelling, and every piece of guidance he offers comes with reasons and examples good and bad. I'll be using this as a reference; I'm glad some other authors of how-to-write books recommended it in their own works.
