Tom Foster is Professor of English at the University of Michigan, Flint, where he teaches classes in contemporary fiction, drama and poetry as well as creative writing and composition. He has written several books on twentieth-century British and Irish literature and poetry and lives in East Lansing, Michigan.
Of all the literary forms, the novel is arguably the most discussed . . . and fretted over. From Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote to the works of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and today's masters, the novel has grown with and adapted to changing societies and technologies, mixing tradition and innovation in every age throughout history.
Thomas C. Foster—the sage and scholar who ingeniously led readers through the fascinating symbolic codes of great literature in his first book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor—now examines the grammar of the popular novel. Exploring how authors' choices about structure—point of view, narrative voice, first page, chapter construction, character emblems, and narrative (dis)continuity—create meaning and a special literary language, How to Read Novels Like a Professor shares the keys to this language with readers who want to get more insight, more understanding, and more pleasure from their reading.
在传统的观念里,读小说就是“看故事”,通过引人入胜的情节,生动逼真的人物,体会作家希望传递的信息。但小说作为文学的一个门类,早已晋升到艺术的高度,而我们作为读者,该如何用艺术的眼光读小说呢?我们可以从美国学者托马斯•福斯特的《如何阅读一本小说》中找到答案...

评分开始时在读台版书《……23堂……》,读着读着发现其实有大陆版,就读了后者。 反复重申“小说是用词语建造的房子。”究竟用意如何? 暂时没有录完,后面的扫了几眼,没有细看,是阅读的老毛病了。 爱尔兰史诗《夺牛长征记》(《夺牛征战记》(Tain Bo Cuailgne)是以爱尔兰北部...
评分后面几章有点无力了
评分泛泛读了一半左右
评分诺贝尔奖一处不赞同。大多谆谆教诲很有advisor感
评分其实讲得很浅显生动,当代小说毕竟还是英美传统的,所以读一下这种入门书,会很有启发。只是真到手上的时候觉得翻译有点为难。里面提到了一些比较新的英语小说还没有翻译到中文里。
评分废话连篇,言之无物,充斥着无处不在的低级的文字游戏。作者始终在避实就虚,蜻蜓点水,说些人所共知的话,对于如何感受和把握小说则几无分析可言。章节标题取得哗众取宠,似乎深得营销学真传,内容则不过是包装过的空壳而已。
