圖書描述

In this remarkable blend of memoir and criticism, James Wood has written a master class on the connections between fiction and life. He argues that, of all the arts, fiction has a unique ability to describe the shape of our lives, and to rescue the texture of those lives from death and historical oblivion. The act of reading is understood here as the most sacred and personal of activities, and there are brilliant discussions of individual works – among others, Chekhov’s story ‘The Kiss’, W.G. Sebald’s The Emigrants, and Fitzgerald’s The Blue Flower.

Wood reveals his own intimate relationship with the written word: we see the development of a provincial boy growing up in a charged Christian environment, the secret joy of his childhood reading, the links he makes between reading and blasphemy, or between literature and music. The final section discusses fiction in the context of exile and homelessness. The Nearest Thing to Life is not simply a brief, tightly argued book by a man commonly regarded as our finest living critic – it is also an exhilarating personal account that reflects on, and embodies, the fruitful conspiracy between reader and writer (and critic), and asks us to re-consider everything that is at stake when we read and write fiction.

著者簡介

James Douglas Graham Wood is an English literary critic, essayist and novelist. He is currently Professor of the Practice of Literary Criticism at Harvard University (a part-time position) and a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine.

Wood advocates an aesthetic approach to literature, rather than more ideologically-driven trends in academic literary criticism.

Wood is noted for coining the genre term hysterical realism, which he uses to denote the contemporary conception of the "big, ambitious novel" that pursues vitality "at all costs." Hysterical realism describes novels that are characterized by chronic length, manic characters, frenzied action, and frequent digressions on topics secondary to the story.

用戶評價

評分

Wood重視文學作品中的細節在本質上就是一種輕逸的痛苦,這種痛苦相悖於生活中沉痛的打擊,而是在轉瞬即逝的小事中瞥到無法逃避的宿命感。如同納博科夫將紙巾落下賦予“infinite listlessness",作傢的職責就像他所說的那樣,是rescue the life of things for their death. 同時,Metaphor的實質是identification,世界主義和後殖民主義的浪潮將我們所有人都置身於他所描述的transcendental homelessness,這一切苦澀融入我們的血液後再次變成我們的文字,也同時變成我們的生命。

評分

fiction is the knownly best metaphor of life, thus the nearest thing to life. As life can never be described the same as anything solid in this world, it can only be reproduced resembling infinitely to the original in the past through the way of creating metapherical feelings and sensations.

評分

不要說投入那個叫做「生活」的東西,單單是接近那個叫做「生活」的東西就使人發怵瞭,而如果是「最接近生活」,那真是自找罪受。是這樣嗎?

評分

對小說的理解與共鳴算是個很私人的東西瞭。從生活裏取片段進行描寫,讀者情感共鳴還是得看腦補。 這本書真是寫的很隨性(便)瞭.......
