The Art of Fiction | David Lodge
5 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
In this entertaining and enlightening collection David Lodge considers the art of fiction under a wide range of headings, drawing on writers as diverse as Henry James, Martin Amis, Jane Austen and James Joyce. Looking at ideas such as the Intrusive Author, Suspense, the Epistolary Novel, Magic Realism and Symbolism, and illustrating each topic with a passage taken from a classic or modern novel, David Lodge makes the richness and variety of British and American fiction accessible to the general reader. He provides essential reading for students, aspiring writers and anyone who wants to understand how fiction works.

Wish I'd had this book at GCSE. A fascinating collection of short essays listing the various literary styles. The examples and books quoted make a great set of recommendations.

Friends! I need some help. I'm trying to read up some literary criticism type books for a project, and someone recommended the tagged book to me. However, I'm really looking for books by non-white authors that tackle similar subjects, so please, hit me with your favorites. Or even just your favorite literary criticism titles. Thank you!

merelybookish Maybe this?
