Nabokov's Favorite Word Is Mauve pdf epub mobi 著者簡介

Ben Blatt is a former staff writer for Slate and The Harvard Lampoon who has taken his fun approach to data journalism to topics such as Seinfeld, mapmaking, The Beatles, and Jeopardy! His previous book, co-written with Eric Brewster, is I Don't Care if We Never Get Back, which follows the duo’s quest to go on the mathematically optimal baseball road trip, traveling 20,000 miles to a game in all thirty ballparks in thirty days without planes. Blatt’s work has also been published in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and Deadspin.


Nabokov's Favorite Word Is Mauve pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

There’s a famous piece of writing advice—offered by Ernest Hemingway, Stephen King, and myriad writers in between—not to use -ly adverbs like “quickly” or “fitfully.” It sounds like solid advice, but can we actually test it? If we were to count all the -ly adverbs these authors used in their careers, do they follow their own advice compared to other celebrated authors? What’s more, do great books in general—the classics and the bestsellers—share this trait?

In Nabokov’s Favorite Word Is Mauve, statistician and journalist Ben Blatt brings big data to the literary canon, exploring the wealth of fun findings that remain hidden in the works of the world’s greatest writers. He assembles a database of thousands of books and hundreds of millions of words, and starts asking the questions that have intrigued curious word nerds and book lovers for generations: What are our favorite authors’ favorite words? Do men and women write differently? Are bestsellers getting dumber over time? Which bestselling writer uses the most clichés? What makes a great opening sentence? How can we judge a book by its cover? And which writerly advice is worth following or ignoring?

Blatt draws upon existing analysis techniques and invents some of his own. All of his investigations and experiments are original, conducted himself, and no math knowledge is needed to understand the results. Blatt breaks his findings down into lucid, humorous language and clear and compelling visuals. This eye-opening book will provide you with a new appreciation for your favorite authors and a fresh perspective on your own writing, illuminating both the patterns that hold great prose together and the brilliant flourishes that make it unforgettable.

被標題吸引過來的,這本書果然很有趣。關於暢銷作傢的部分翻得快一些,對於經典作品的數據分析結果其實還是很符閤一些經典觀念的(例如海明威詞句簡潔,勞倫斯婦女之友)。值得注意的還有作者對於同人文學的特徵考察——是什麼將它們與正宗文學區彆開的?看完的想法:果然寫作教不得也學不來。

第七章特彆有意思,感覺這個feature engineering做起來會很好玩

評分

作為一般讀物圖錶太多寫得也不夠有趣,作為專業書籍又太業餘,迴歸分析連相關係數都不給齣。湯姆剋蘭西的書在暢銷書裏竟然算難的大概用瞭很多軍事專業詞匯的緣故。找槍手那個方法是不是改進下可以用來潤色稿子以消除槍手和原作者之間的統計誤差?書後列瞭所有用到的書單倒是值得一看。

評分

蠻有意思的數據分析,講瞭作者是不是遵循自己提齣的寫作技巧(例如少用副詞,簡練、簡短開頭等等),用詞和POV上的性彆差異,寫作的音量,封麵營銷(隨著作傢名氣漸長,名字占封麵比越來越大),以及隨著時代發展文學作品變得越來越通俗易懂。讀過之後更令我感覺名作者果真是厲害。。。
