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.

開篇法則:開篇是如何閱讀小說的第一課。 虛構地點法則:一個虛構作品裏的地點絕不是真的地方,但必須錶現的真實。 誰在說話法則:虛構作品的敘述者是想象和語言的産物,跟小說中的人物或事件一樣。 敘述不可信法則:當你看見“我”一詞,就不要再相信敘述者。 聽懂聲音法則:...
評分很棒的一本書,既分解瞭概念和理念,也引用段落進行具體解讀。作者為美國密歇根大學教授,具有相當強的熱愛和廣闊的閱讀量。讀這樣的書你會感動,因為最令人著迷的兩種闡述,無非是高超的技藝和深沉的熱愛,而這本書兩者兼具。 一開始作者就論及敘述。敘述是小說的關鍵,作者會...
評分 評分顧名思義,這是一本講閱讀方法,也是講文學(小說)創作的書,既然是理論性的作品就還是引用作者自己的文字來展示。在每章大緻梳理提煉瞭一些文字,講述其中心主題,不全麵,也捨棄掉瞭大量示例,隻是對這本書整體進行一些展示,僅為管中窺豹,也權當讀書筆記。 另外,通讀全...

一般。
評分筆調很可愛,讀書時會笑起來的文學理論入門。有的例子沒讀過,有部分甚至完全沒聽說過【捂臉。雖然標題說like a prof. 但事實上也常聚焦於閱讀體驗,很多處get梗的開心,讓我想把常書中提到我卻沒讀過的幾本補起來。 作者是John Fowles的真愛,提到偵探小說時混閤著嘲諷和自豪【?的語調也超可愛
評分廢話連篇,言之無物,充斥著無處不在的低級的文字遊戲。作者始終在避實就虛,蜻蜓點水,說些人所共知的話,對於如何感受和把握小說則幾無分析可言。章節標題取得嘩眾取寵,似乎深得營銷學真傳,內容則不過是包裝過的空殼而已。
