Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. An in-depth study of form in fiction. Bell posits two categories of structure: linear and module. Smart readings of examples, but not much advice about process--how to find a form fitting for your content. Not your usual writing how-to. I found it tremendously useful. For each story he analyzes plot, character, tone, point of view, dialogue, symbolism, and design. This is a workbook, not a theory or "feel-good" how-to book. From the back of the book: Madison Smartt Bell offers a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to writing. He shows how to analyze the use of time, plot, character, and other elements of fiction, and guides the reader to see each story's flaws and strengths. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Focusing on the big picture as well as the crucial details, Bell examines twelve stories by both established writers (including Peter Taylor, Mary Gaitskill, and Carolyn Chute) and his own former students. A story's use of time, plot, character, and other elements of fiction are analyzed, and readers are challenged to see each story's flaws and strengths. Careful endnotes bring attention to the ways in which various writers use language. Bell urges writers to develop the habit of thinking about form and finding the form that best suits their subject matter and style. His direct and practical advice allows writers to find their own voice and imagination. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
