具体描述
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.

评分读得比我想象中慢（书很薄）因为比我想象中要求更多的专注。 自由间接文体 词语应当复杂地同时属于读者和作者人物应该鲜明地站在眼前而作者又应该无声地在场。（身份暧昧 福楼拜的浪子）现实主义作者不自觉地具有自己的风格同时又必须卑微地学习笔下的人物去说话 必须警惕“文...
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...

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.
