Books to guide novel writing
I. Twenty Lectures on Writing Skills of Gary Shaw's Novels (J.); Pages translated by Liang Miao: 369 Press: Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House Date: 1987. 1 1 Professor gary shaw wrote this book on the basis of summing up the creative experience of outstanding novelists and his own. The manuscript highlights the theme of novel writing skills and expounds various problems related to novel writing from many angles. For example, "round characters" and "flat characters" often mentioned by some critics are also involved in this book. Compared with other books in this field, it is focused, meaningful, detailed and systematic, and the summarized experience is feasible. Second, "Modern Novel Skills" Author: Gao Xingjian Page: 129 Press: Huacheng Press Date: 198 1 The main argument of this book is that the evolution of novel writing skills is actually influenced by the mode of production and lifestyle of the times. The constant innovation and change of production mode and the constant change and evolution of lifestyle will inevitably promote artistic expression. After the invention of the steam engine, great changes have taken place in the mode of production and lifestyle of human beings, thus forming a new western literature since the19th century. However, with the gradual end of the steam engine era, these literatures marked by Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy have also become classics. Now mankind has entered the era of electrons and atoms, and is about to enter the era in which microelectronics technology is dominant. In this way, literature, of course, is the writing skills of novels first. Therefore, the development and change of modern novel skills is only the first sign of the development of the west with the industrial revolution. The development trend of this novel skill will certainly be influenced and restricted by social system, national tradition, regional differences and other factors, but it still has a general development trend. Comrade Gao Xingjian's book is actually a rough survey of this general trend. Therefore, although he mainly introduces the skills of modern western novels, he does not stick to this, but describes the development of China's novel skills from the May 4th period to the present at any time, analyzes and synthesizes the skills of some contemporary novelists in China, and puts forward his own opinions, so the title is called "A Preliminary Study of Modern Novel Skills". 3.
