詹姆斯•伍德(James Wood,1965— ),英国著名文学评论家、作家,现任哈佛大学文学批评实践教授和《纽约客》专栏作家。
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.
詹姆斯•伍德延续了二十世纪的批评传统,更注重文本内部研究,从小说叙述、细节、人物、意识、同情和复杂、语言、对话几个要素着手,不遗余力地分析叙述者、作者、读者的关系。 无疑,詹姆斯有一对小说的金耳朵,他可以听见小说中如同柔软的啤酒沫的部分上涌时向四周绵延的声...

评分被滋养到了。。。。。。
评分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。
