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 and searching study of the main elements of fiction, such as narrative, detail, characterization, dialogue, realism, and style. In his first full-length book of criticism, one of the most prominent critics of our time takes the machinery of story-telling apart to ask a series of 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 most endings of novels disappoint? Wood ranges widely, from Homer to Beatrix Potter, 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, it incisively sums up two decades of bold, often controversial, and now classic critical work, and will be enlightening to writers, readers, and anyone 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If the book has a larger argument, it is that fiction is both artifice and verisimilitude, and that there is nothing difficult in holding together these two possibilities. 细节: Free indirect speech见于细节之中:认真辨别是谁在说话 Free indirect style is a...
评分即使在阅读了一些质量不错的文学评论和文学史之后,我仍然会对文学理论的意义持怀疑态度,尤其是将文学像朝代或国家一样,以各种“主义”和“流派”划分开来。但同时,我又绞尽脑汁想要掌握和厘清这些“主义”们的来龙去脉,因为文学世界实在过于庞杂,就像一团团聚集或游离的...
评分叙述 不可靠叙述(不可靠的第一人称叙述者,其自知之明不及最后的旁观者清) 第一人称叙事者经常是高度可靠的,简爱从一个后见之明讲述她的故事。表面上不可靠的叙事者也往往是可靠的不可靠。如亨伯特·亨伯特,作者一路提醒,让小说教会我们如何让阅读它的叙事...
★★★★★ 真的好好。当storytelling在方方面面,say,决定着无间道和反无间道的结果,在universality as conspiracy的现实中,文学的重要性就愈发突显。James Wood的论述绝不是最严密的,但在叙事上这反而其实不重要,因为他的洞悉之穿透力是惊人的,它可以把思考钉住,你为之绊脚,甚至于被打动,它那么接近真相,就好像真的有像这颗铁钉一般确切存在的真相似的。

评分被滋养到了。。。。。。
评分作者用輕快的筆調解釋小說的元素,引用的例子有經典也有現代,可算是延伸了Henry James 的the art of fiction。分析細緻到一個詞,不讀英文版可能會理解困難。提到福樓拜時,說法語的優勢,可惜不懂法語。讀後覺得要讀的書(特別是精讀)太多了!
