Description

「地海六部曲」作者

娥蘇拉‧勒瑰恩的小說工作坊

十堂課、十八篇賞析、二十六個練習

長年暢銷經典 作家寫作必備

 

蘇格拉底曾說:「語言誤用會引發靈魂中的邪惡。」

勒瑰恩長久以來都一直把這句話釘在桌上。

 

小說如魔法般是門精湛技藝,

稍有差錯就可能搞砸……

 

  如果一點點的誤用將導致嚴重的後果,

  我們究竟要如何正確地說故事?

 

  美國最頂尖的作家娥蘇拉‧勒瑰恩,將數十年來帶領小說工作坊的經驗寫成了這本書,長久以來再版不斷,被公認為是一本不可或缺的寫作指引經典。

 

  從最基本的韻律、句式、敘事觀點等,她精準地指出了眾多寫作者可能不小心犯的錯誤,並在每堂課後提供練習加以引導。她以經典文學作品為例,讀者可一窺大師勒瑰恩是如何觀看馬克‧吐溫的《卡城名蛙》、吳爾芙的《燈塔行》,又或者托爾金的《魔戒》等文本,勒瑰恩的視角和自己在閱讀時體察到的又有什麼差異?

 

  精采的討論、由淺入深的分析、百試不膩的習題……勒瑰恩將以十堂課一一啟迪各位創作者。課程結束後,她更提出了如何組織同儕之間的工作坊的建議,讓有志寫作的創作者可以透過這些規則繼續彼此討論作品。

 

  ●這是一本獻給擁有小說創作經驗的必讀寫作指南,也是一本使你在往後創作的道路上不乏討論夥伴的工作坊指引。

 

本書特色

 

  1.這是一本寫作指南,為讀者釐清了寫作的基本要素為何,加強寫作者說故事的技巧,並讓本書讀者能在寫作上有更深的體悟。

 

  2.勒瑰恩不把寫作視為心理治療或心靈探索。寫作或許可以用來表達自我,或者最終可以達到心理治療或探索心靈的效果,但勒瑰恩認為,寫作無論如何都 是一種藝術,是一門技藝,是一種創作的形式。而這正是寫作的樂趣所在。

 

  3.從事藝術創作,有一點運氣的成分,天分當然也很重要。運氣與天分不是靠著努力就能得到,但可以透過努力學到寫作的技巧。

 

  4.技巧往往能促進藝術的發展:掌握寫作技巧之後,就能隨心所欲寫出想寫的東西,或許也能因而逐漸看清自己究竟想寫什麼。

 

  5.在寫作這條路上,許多創作者都像航行在大海之中,在處處暗礁、重重險阻間找到自己的航道。經驗豐富的前輩可以提供他們的經驗,減少你的挫敗,提高你的學習樂趣,加快你的學習速度。

 

  6.想寫出好作品,就必須全心投入,聽從心靈呼喚,勤加練習。學習如何把故事寫好,可能需要耗費一輩子的心力,但那將是非常值得的追求。
