非常推荐!帮助我更好地理解读书和写作这一思维交流的重要方式,以及如何更加深刻的阅读一本书; 如果说好的作品犹如一幅世界名画,那么我们从小到大学会的是如何去从手法上剖析一部作品,或者在字里行间之间“阅读理解”,各种揣测作者试图升华的核心思想。但是我非常赞同桑德...
评分 评分IN THE CART 【小说写作原理阐述】 1、节奏:与现实生活相比,小说的节奏要更快、更紧凑也更夸张,必须要不停加入新的元素进来,改变已有的局势。 2、预期:好的小说是一方面满足读者的预期,同时又要做到“意料之外、情理之中”。就像Hanov的出场,读者会期盼两人有互动,但又...
评分一本偶然看推送了解到的书(否则无论书看封面,还是听书名,我都不会去想要了解它到底说的啥)。这是我最近获得的一个小惊喜,甚至算得上说中等惊喜。说雪城大学的一个教授以作家的角度去解读7部俄罗斯小说的。从作家的角度去分析,作者为何要这样去写,我们能“偷”到什么,从...

From the New York Times bestselling, Booker Prize–winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December comes a literary master class on what makes great stories work and what they can tell us about ourselves—and our world today.
For the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.
In his introduction, Saunders writes, “We’re going to enter seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world, made for a specific purpose that our time maybe doesn’t fully endorse but that these writers accepted implicitly as the aim of art—namely, to ask the big questions, questions like, How are we supposed to be living down here? What were we put here to accomplish? What should we value? What is truth, anyway, and how might we recognize it?” He approaches the stories technically yet accessibly, and through them explains how narrative functions; why we stay immersed in a story and why we resist it; and the bedrock virtues a writer must foster. The process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is a technical craft, but also a way of training oneself to see the world with new openness and curiosity.
A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.
非常好看的短篇小说分析。金针度与人的写法。虽然是从作家视觉出发,立足于写作技巧(而非文学理论)进行文本分析,但是在很多方面都很有启发,比如对于写作者主观意愿与最终成型的客观文本之间的关系的思考。
评分资格的手把手的教
评分再一次证明,我读不了任何教写作和教阅读的书 我无法接受它把短篇拆分成一段一段,然后分析,可以说跟我上高中语文课一模一样 阅读过程真的让我梦回高中,太痛苦了
评分讲写作的部分让人有些暴躁,作者非常爱用metaphor,过分爱用了;但作为读者的部分还是很有意思的。读罢Gooseberries我对契柯夫真是佩服得五体投地呜呜呜。
评分意识到一件事,我可能不喜欢看小说
