In the tradition of E. M. Forster's "Aspects of the Novel" and Milan Kundera's "The Art of the Novel," "How Fiction Works" is a scintillating study of the magic of fiction--an analysis of its main elements and a celebration of its lasting power. Here one of the most prominent and stylish critics of our time looks into the machinery of storytelling to ask some fundamental questions: What do we mean when we say we "know" a fictional character? What constitutes a telling detail? When is a metaphor successful? Is Realism realistic? Why do some literary conventions become dated while others stay fresh?James Wood ranges widely, from Homer to "Make Way for Ducklings," from the Bible to John le Carre, and his book is both a study of the techniques of fiction-making and an alternative history of the novel. Playful and profound, "How Fiction Works" will be enlightening to writers, readers, and anyone else interested in what happens on the page.
《琅琊榜》近来比较火,好奇之下,把书和剧都找来看了,然后有点窝火,因为浪费了好几天时间。这么低劣的东西,被捧上神坛,奉为良心之作,可见今日之中国,神不过就是地摊上卖的泥塑木雕,良心属于同样廉价的玩意儿。 那谁说了,没有省察的人生是不值得过的人生,因此我反思了...
评分1 在知乎上看到一个问题,文学批评是否有用? 有一派人认为,没什么鸟用,所有的理论不过是文论家的胡编乱造,不仅对文学没有帮助,还会妨碍阅读。 对此我当然不能同意,不过这样的看法似乎很常见,也颇为流行。一开始,我也抱着这样的偏见,对文学理论不屑一顾。为什么呢?...
评分 评分James’ original choice of the book title was The Nearest Thing to Life. He didn’t tell us why he adopted this one, yet he did mention where he got the idea from G.E, “Art is the nearest thing to life; it is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds of our personal lot.” Perceptive and accurate.
