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.

讀後感
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...
評分叙述: 自由间接体:叙述融汇了作者的语言与人物的语言，更具有代入性；叙述是作者自身的语言风格、角色该采用的语言风格、世界性日常生活语言风格的三位一体。 福楼拜创立的现代叙述:把惯常的细节与变化的细节混合起来（拍号，即时值标记不同），场景的刻画因人工雕琢而栩栩如生...
評分叙述 不可靠叙述（不可靠的第一人称叙述者，其自知之明不及最后的旁观者清） 第一人称叙事者经常是高度可靠的，简爱从一个后见之明讲述她的故事。表面上不可靠的叙事者也往往是可靠的不可靠。如亨伯特·亨伯特，作者一路提醒，让小说教会我们如何让阅读它的叙事...
評分《小说机杼》是一本从专业角度深度剖析文学的教材式读物。对我这样的纯爱好者有一些晦涩。属于那种每一句话都明白但连在一起讲了些什么看不太懂。读完以后给我留下印象最深刻的几个关键词是：细节，共情和行为分析。 文学和生活的不同之处在于，生活是由无数细节组成的但极少引...
評分1 在知乎上看到一个问题，文学批评是否有用? 有一派人认为，没什么鸟用，所有的理论不过是文论家的胡编乱造，不仅对文学没有帮助，还会妨碍阅读。 对此我当然不能同意，不过这样的看法似乎很常见，也颇为流行。一开始，我也抱着这样的偏见，对文学理论不屑一顾。为什么呢？...

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.
