Description
David Lodge's comprehensive guide to the art of fiction brings together a wide range of topics, from the intrusive author to magical realism, and illustrates each concept with passages from classic and modern fiction. The author's own novels infuse the criticism with verve and humour, making this book an invaluable resource for students of literature, aspiring writers, and anyone looking to understand how literature works. Through clear explanations and demonstrations, Lodge makes technical terms such as interior monologue and intertextuality accessible to the general reader. The result is a book that is both informative and engaging, providing a rich understanding of the richness and variety of British and American fiction. By drawing on a diverse range of writers, including Henry James, Jane Austen, and Fay Weldon, Lodge provides a unique perspective on the art of fiction, one that is both insightful and entertaining.
