具體描述
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.

評分詹姆斯•伍德延续了二十世纪的批评传统，更注重文本内部研究，从小说叙述、细节、人物、意识、同情和复杂、语言、对话几个要素着手，不遗余力地分析叙述者、作者、读者的关系。 无疑，詹姆斯有一对小说的金耳朵，他可以听见小说中如同柔软的啤酒沫的部分上涌时向四周绵延的声...
評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...

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.
