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 and searching study of the main elements of fiction, such as narrative, detail, characterization, dialogue, realism, and style. In his first full-length book of criticism, one of the most prominent critics of our time takes the machinery of story-telling apart to ask a series of 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 most endings of novels disappoint? Wood ranges widely, from Homer to Beatrix Potter, 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, it incisively sums up two decades of bold, often controversial, and now classic critical work, and will be enlightening to writers, readers, and anyone interested in what happens on the page.
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...
评分细节被着意选中 作家无处不在又无影无踪,并表现出无动于衷的样子,以此引起读者惊奇。 细节被抹平为同步发生的样子 细节重要又无关紧要,它像生活一样扑面而来。 时间上的不可能:短期的事件被扔进长期的事件中,好像它们本来共处一处(或者同一时间内发生两件完全不一样的事...
评分 评分If the book has a larger argument, it is that fiction is both artifice and verisimilitude, and that there is nothing difficult in holding together these two possibilities. 细节: Free indirect speech见于细节之中:认真辨别是谁在说话 Free indirect style is a...
作者用輕快的筆調解釋小說的元素,引用的例子有經典也有現代,可算是延伸了Henry James 的the art of fiction。分析細緻到一個詞,不讀英文版可能會理解困難。提到福樓拜時,說法語的優勢,可惜不懂法語。讀後覺得要讀的書(特別是精讀)太多了!
评分★★★★★ 真的好好。当storytelling在方方面面,say,决定着无间道和反无间道的结果,在universality as conspiracy的现实中,文学的重要性就愈发突显。James Wood的论述绝不是最严密的,但在叙事上这反而其实不重要,因为他的洞悉之穿透力是惊人的,它可以把思考钉住,你为之绊脚,甚至于被打动,它那么接近真相,就好像真的有像这颗铁钉一般确切存在的真相似的。
