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.
詹姆斯•伍德(James Wood,1965— ),英國著名文學評論傢、作傢,現任哈佛大學文學批評實踐教授和《紐約客》專欄作傢。
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.

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...
評分一、福楼拜与现代叙事:文体风格,自由间接体,细节 如果作者与笔下人物完全融为一体,整本书始终只有一个人的不断独白,那这本书就会显得无聊至极。而如果作者和人物分得太开,敏感的读者又会感受到出戏的违和感,认为作者是在说教。所以,每个作家都得学会借助自由间接体或者...
評分看书的时候想起以前看过一个大河剧,叫《葵三代》。 《葵三代》开头,石田三成和德川在关原决战,结果三成败北,被德川的手下抓起来。原本位极人臣,如今却落得个游街示众。最后一天游完街回来,隔天就要被浸猪笼了,三成和几个差役坐在简陋的亭下休息。虽然是败军之将,差役们...
評分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...
