Of all the literary forms, the novel is arguably the most discussed . . . and fretted over. From Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote to the works of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and today's masters, the novel has grown with and adapted to changing societies and technologies, mixing tradition and innovation in every age throughout history.
Thomas C. Foster—the sage and scholar who ingeniously led readers through the fascinating symbolic codes of great literature in his first book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor—now examines the grammar of the popular novel. Exploring how authors' choices about structure—point of view, narrative voice, first page, chapter construction, character emblems, and narrative (dis)continuity—create meaning and a special literary language, How to Read Novels Like a Professor shares the keys to this language with readers who want to get more insight, more understanding, and more pleasure from their reading.
Tom Foster is Professor of English at the University of Michigan, Flint, where he teaches classes in contemporary fiction, drama and poetry as well as creative writing and composition. He has written several books on twentieth-century British and Irish literature and poetry and lives in East Lansing, Michigan.
地球上最后一个人独自坐在房间里,这时,忽然响起了敲门声…… 这是截至目前世界上最短的科幻小说。一句话,25个字,却引发了读者的无限遐想:地球上为什么只剩下一个人?其他人去哪了?是去往了别的星球还是死了?如果是死了,究竟是怎么死的?敲门的是谁?这最后一个人会去开...
评分第一条法则即“开篇法则”是这么说的:一部小说的第一页就能告诉你关于这部小说的18件事:文体、强调、情绪、措词、视角、叙述的在场、叙述的态度、时间框架、时间的掌控、地点、母题、主题、嘲讽、节奏、步速、期望、人物、导读。 《飞狐外传》在金庸小说中名气不算大,口碑也...
评分顾名思义,这是一本讲阅读方法,也是讲文学(小说)创作的书,既然是理论性的作品就还是引用作者自己的文字来展示。在每章大致梳理提炼了一些文字,讲述其中心主题,不全面,也舍弃掉了大量示例,只是对这本书整体进行一些展示,仅为管中窥豹,也权当读书笔记。 另外,通读全...

后面几章有点无力了
评分笔调很可爱,读书时会笑起来的文学理论入门。有的例子没读过,有部分甚至完全没听说过【捂脸。虽然标题说like a prof. 但事实上也常聚焦于阅读体验,很多处get梗的开心,让我想把常书中提到我却没读过的几本补起来。 作者是John Fowles的真爱,提到侦探小说时混合着嘲讽和自豪【?的语调也超可爱
评分废话连篇,言之无物,充斥着无处不在的低级的文字游戏。作者始终在避实就虚,蜻蜓点水,说些人所共知的话,对于如何感受和把握小说则几无分析可言。章节标题取得哗众取宠,似乎深得营销学真传,内容则不过是包装过的空壳而已。
评分文风欢脱
评分泛泛读了一半左右
