Reading Like a Writer

Autor Francine Prose
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2012

Această ediție a lucrării Reading Like a Writer semnată de Francine Prose propune o întoarcere la bazele formării literare, explorând modul în care scriitorii aspiranți învățau meșteșugul înainte de apariția atelierelor moderne de scriere creativă. Considerăm că valoarea principală a acestui volum rezidă în analiza detaliată a „trucurilor” folosite de autori canonici precum Dostoievski, Flaubert sau Virginia Woolf. Subliniem faptul că Francine Prose nu oferă simple sfaturi teoretice, ci ghidează cititorul printr-un proces de deconstrucție a textului, examinând cu atenție alegerea cuvintelor și ritmul frazei. Această abordare completează perspectiva oferită de Reader-Friendly Writing for Authors, adăugând o dimensiune critică și estetică ce lipsește manualelor axate strict pe accesibilitatea comercială. În timp ce alte ghiduri se concentrează pe structuri de piață, Francine Prose pune accent pe longevitatea literară și pe arhitectura internă a prozei de calitate. Stilul este unul analitic, dar accesibil, transformând lectura dintr-o activitate pasivă într-un instrument de studiu riguros, esențial pentru oricine dorește să înțeleagă mecanismele intime ale literaturii.

Descriere

In her entertaining and edifying New York Times bestseller, acclaimed author Francine Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and tricks of the masters to discover why their work has endured.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Long before there were creative-writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says Francine Prose.
In Reading Like a Writer, Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writers&#8212Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhov&#8212and discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is deeply moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's Middlemarch. She looks to John Le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield for clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted.
Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart.
