书籍简介

10周年修订版，有新的介绍

詹姆斯-伍德的《小说机杼》是对小说的魔力进行的激动人心的研究--对其主要元素的分析和对其持久力量的庆祝。

在这里，我们这个时代杰出、时髦的评论家之一审视了讲故事的机制，提出了一些基本问题。当我们说我们了解一个虚构的人物时，我们是什么意思？什么构成了一个有说服力的细节？什么时候隐喻才算成功？现实主义是现实的吗？为什么一些文学惯例变得过时，而另一些则保持新鲜？

詹姆斯-伍德涉猎广泛，从荷马到为小鸭子让路，他的书既是对小说创作技术的研究，也是一部另类的小说史。《小说机杼》既有趣又深刻，对作家、读者以及任何对页面上发生的事情感兴趣的人来说，都会有启发性。

10th anniversary revised edition with new Introduction

James Wood's 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, 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.
