Long before there were creative-writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says Francine Prose. </p>
In Reading Like a Writer, Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writers-Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhov-and discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is deeply moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's Middlemarch. She looks to John Le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield for clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted. </p>
Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart. </p>
教學與創作經驗俱豐的Prose,逐一解析遣詞、用句、段落、敘述、人物、對話、細節鋪排等結構小說的要素,並摘引作品為例證,她選擇瞭Denis Johnson和John le Carré與契訶夫、福樓拜的作品,嚴肅與通俗文學並讀。
Prose著有十四本小說,獲多項獎項獎助,也曾任教於愛荷華寫作工作坊與約翰.霍普金斯大學。
本來是一本給creative writer的閱讀指南,但是對想要深入閱讀文學作品的普通讀者也很有啓發,一些經典作品的選段分析非常精彩,附錄中還列齣瞭可供參考的書單。說到底,文化積澱、語言敏感度、生活體驗、文本細讀和定期重讀一個都不能少。
評分針對創意寫作,但對普通讀者的閱讀大有啓發!學會從閱讀(reading closely)中學習如何寫作和對廣義上的創作有啓發。大量舉例清晰明瞭,並從中認識瞭很多現代作傢。倒數第二章嚮契柯夫緻敬,認同不過!立馬購買契柯夫英文版全集重新閱讀。
評分其實不算讀過,就前20%。讀之前這本書讓我非常excited,讀的時候卻一直有"作者講的這些我怎麼什麼都看不齣來"的迷茫感覺。大概我其實完全不care,也沒有精神沒有毅力非要去體會那些文字的妙處……不是我的書。
評分最後的書單看起來不錯。內容對外行來說還算新穎有用。
