Detalii produs

There remains at work - in both Britain and America - a group of literary journalists and academics committed to the evaluative criticism of fiction, to a criticism that approaches novels as novels. The Good of the Novel is a collection of specially commissioned essays - edited by Ray Ryan and LIam McIlvanney - on the contemporary Anglophone novel. Bringing together some of the most strenuous and perceptive critics of the present moment and putting them in contact with some of the finest novels of the past three decades, it examines what the novel does and what kinds of truth the novel can tell. What is it that the novel knows? What is it about the language used in a novel that creates a world different from that of drama or poetry? And how does a particular novel emplify this? These questions can be answered by the careful examination of particular great works by strong evaluative critics. Robert Macfarlane on Hollinghurst''''s The Line of Beauty; Tessa Hadley examining Coetzee''''s Disgrace; and Ian Sansom on R

Descriere

Rămâne la lucru – atât în Marea Britanie, cât și în America – un grup de jurnaliști literari și academicieni dedicați criticii evaluative a ficțiunii, unei critici care abordează romanele ca romane. The Good of the Novel este o colecție de eseuri special comandate - editate de Ray Ryan și LIam McIlvanney - despre romanul anglofon contemporan. Reunind pe unii dintre cei mai obsceni și perspicaci critici ai momentului prezent și punându-i în contact cu unele dintre cele mai bune romane din ultimele trei decenii, examinează ceea ce face romanul și ce fel de adevăr poate spune romanul. Ce știe romanul? Ce este limbajul folosit într-un roman care creează o lume diferită de cea a dramei sau a poeziei? Și cum explică acest lucru un anumit roman? Aceste întrebări pot fi răspunse prin examinarea atentă a unor opere deosebite deosebite de către critici evaluatori puternici. Robert Macfarlane despre The Line of Beauty de Hollinghurst; Tessa Hadley examinând Rușina lui Coetzee; și Ian Sansom despre Pastorala americană a lui Roth - doar câteva dintre eseurile care se găsesc în această carte perspicace, inteligentă și iluminatoare.
