詹姆斯•伍德(James Wood,1965— ),英国著名文学评论家、作家,现任哈佛大学文学批评实践教授和《纽约客》专栏作家。
What makes a story a story? What is style? What's the connection between realism and real life? These are some of the questions James Wood answers in "How Fiction Works," the first book-length essay by the preeminent critic of his generation. Ranging widely--from Homer to David Foster Wallace, from "What Maisie Knew "to "Make Way for Ducklings"--Wood takes the reader through the basic elements of the art, step by step. The result is nothing less than a philosophy of the novel--plainspoken, funny, blunt--in the traditions of E. M. Forster's "Aspects of the Novel "and Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style." It sums up two decades of insight with wit and concision. It will change the way you read.
看书的时候想起以前看过一个大河剧,叫《葵三代》。 《葵三代》开头,石田三成和德川在关原决战,结果三成败北,被德川的手下抓起来。原本位极人臣,如今却落得个游街示众。最后一天游完街回来,隔天就要被浸猪笼了,三成和几个差役坐在简陋的亭下休息。虽然是败军之将,差役们...
评分读得比我想象中慢(书很薄)因为比我想象中要求更多的专注。 自由间接文体 词语应当复杂地同时属于读者和作者人物应该鲜明地站在眼前而作者又应该无声地在场。(身份暧昧 福楼拜的浪子)现实主义作者不自觉地具有自己的风格同时又必须卑微地学习笔下的人物去说话 必须警惕“文...
评分 评分虽然里面几乎所有观点都不新鲜,但能把小说读得和诗歌一样细致,并且总体而言评说中肯,一点也不玄奥神秘,可算是没有把艺术偷偷变成哲学,而是把它认真地当手工制品,一点一点地分析一部小说是怎么技术性地搭建起来的。这次下定决心没有读译本而是直接读原文,感觉相当不同:反倒是英语我能看得更仔细,更细心跟着作者体会例文的妙处,但如果读中文却可能会草草略过,觉得“毫不惊艳”。我的猜想是我中文水平很差,需要多补习文言与现代诗,或者就是现在的中文本身已经被糟蹋得失去了精细感(至少现代汉语词汇的等级制感觉真是莫名混乱,而英语里还保留高中低几个层次,看到奥斯汀用一个“denominate”便嘲讽意味全出,却怎么也想不出“小人用大词”的那种中文翻译,顿感差距)....不提了,还是应该好好学习怎么说优美的中国话(
评分“The true writer, that free servant of life, is one who must always be acting as if life were a category beyond anything the novel and yet grasped; as if life itself were always on the verge of becoming conventional.”
评分Short but simple and interesting. Fiction teaches people how to live, then life teaches us how to enjoy fiction. They are entangled with each other, beautifying human being itself perfectly.
评分读英文版有点抓不住重点的感觉……但确实是循循善诱,语言亲切舒服没有浮躁感。
