王安忆了不起的是，几乎每年对自己都有拓展。我惊讶于她的生活积累能力，似乎有层出不穷、用之不竭的素材，它们变成小说娓娓道来，细节丰满、亲切。——朱伟
王安忆能非常娴熟地拆解小说的机理，包括时间空间、也包括小说中涉及的产业发展规律，并将之复述出来。在校园中，王安忆叙述自己的发现，也启迪学生去发现。这些发现，都为叙述提供了新的可能。——张怡微

"On Writing Well" has been praised for its sound advice, its clarity and the warmth of its style. It is a book for everybody who wants to learn how to write or who needs to do some writing to get through the day, as almost everybody does in the age of e-mail and the Internet.
Whether you want to write about people or places, science and technology, business, sports, the arts or about yourself in the increasingly popular memoir genre, "On Writing Well" offers you fundamental priciples as well as the insights of a distinguished writer and teacher. With more than a million copies sold, this volume has stood the test of time and remains a valuable resource for writers and would-be writers.

This book is designed to enable non-native English speakers to write science research for publication in English. It is a practical, user-friendly book intended as a fast, do-it-yourself guide for those whose English language proficiency is above intermediate. The approach is based on material developed from teaching graduate students at Imperial College London and has been extensively piloted. The book guides the reader through the process of writing science research and will also help with writing a Master's or Doctoral thesis in English. Science writing is much easier than it looks because the structure and language are conventional. The aim of this book is to help the reader discover a template or model for science research writing and then to provide the grammar and vocabulary tools needed to operate that model. There are five units: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion/Conclusion and Abstract. The reader develops a model for each section of the research article through sample texts and exercises; this is followed by a Grammar and Writing Skills section designed to respond to frequently-asked questions as well as a Vocabulary list including examples of how the words and phrases are to be used.

作为《巴黎评论》出版史上第一个女性作家访谈特辑，本书的十六篇访谈也可以看作“对话中的散文”，既是极具水准的对写作技术的探讨，又涵盖了女性作家生活中那些细微却折射性格的细节：她何时确立写作的志向？她的文学启蒙是什么？在写作不同的写作阶段，她遇到的具体阻碍是什么？她如何面对外部否定和自我怀疑？她的同道人或格格不入的对手又是谁？她和女性主义思潮的关系如何？……

The key to good and efficient writing lies in the intelligent organisation of ideas and notes. This book helps students, academics and nonfiction writers to get more done, write intelligent texts and learn for the long run. It teaches you how to take smart notes and ensure they bring you and your projects forward. The Take Smart Notes principle is based on established psychological insight and draws from a tried and tested note-taking-technique. This is the first comprehensive guide and description of this system in English, and not only does it explain how it works, but also why. It suits students and academics in the social sciences and humanities, nonfiction writers and others who are in the business of reading, thinking and writing. Instead of wasting your time searching for notes, quotes or references, you can focus on what really counts: thinking, understanding and developing new ideas in writing. It does not matter if you prefer taking notes with pen and paper or on a computer, be it Windows, Mac or Linux. And you can start right away.

Based on the bestselling series from The Great Courses, Building Great Sentences celebrates the sheer joy of language—and will forever change the way you read and write.
Great writing begins with the sentence. Whether it’s two words (“Jesus wept.”) or William Faulkner’s 1,287-word sentence in Absalom! Absalom!, sentences have the power to captivate, entertain, motivate, educate, and, most importantly, delight. Yet, the sentence-oriented approach to writing is too often overlooked in favor of bland economy. Building Great Sentences teaches you to write better sentences by luxuriating in the pleasures of language.
Award-winning Professor Brooks Landon draws on examples from masters of long, elegant sentences—including Don DeLillo, Virginia Woolf, Joan Didion, and Samuel Johnson—to reveal the mechanics of how language works on thoughts and emotions, providing the tools to write powerful, more effective sentences.

As a scientist, you are a professional writer: your career is built on successful proposals and papers. Success isn't defined by getting papers into print, but by getting them into the reader's consciousness. Writing Science is built upon the idea that successful science writing tells a story. It uses that insight to discuss how to write more effectively. Integrating lessons from other genres of writing with those from the author's years of experience as author, reviewer, and editor, the book shows scientists and students how to present their research in a way that is clear and that will maximize reader comprehension. The book takes an integrated approach, using the principles of story structure to discuss every aspect of successful science writing, from the overall structure of a paper or proposal to individual sections, paragraphs, sentences, and words. It begins by building core arguments, analyzing why some stories are engaging and memorable while others are quickly forgotten, and proceeds to the elements of story structure, showing how the structures scientists and researchers use in papers and proposals fit into classical models. The book targets the internal structure of a paper, explaining how to write clear and professional sections, paragraphs, and sentences in a way that is clear and compelling. The ideas within a paper should flow seamlessly, drawing readers along. The final section of the book deals with special challenges, such as how to discuss research limitations and how to write for the public. Writing Science is a much-needed guide to succeeding in modern science. Its insights and strategies will equip science students, scientists, and professionals across a wide range of scientific and technical fields with the tools needed to communicate effectively.

Eric Hayot teaches graduate students and faculty in literary and cultural studies how to think and write like a professional scholar. From granular concerns, such as sentence structure and grammar, to big-picture issues, such as adhering to genre patterns for successful research and publishing and developing productive and rewarding writing habits, Hayot helps ambitious students, newly minted Ph.D.'s, and established professors shape their work and develop their voices.
Hayot does more than explain the techniques of academic writing. He aims to adjust the writer's perspective, encouraging scholars to think of themselves as makers and doers of important work. Scholarly writing can be frustrating and exhausting, yet also satisfying and crucial, and Hayot weaves these experiences, including his own trials and tribulations, into an ethos for scholars to draw on as they write. Combining psychological support with practical suggestions for composing introductions and conclusions, developing a schedule for writing, using notes and citations, and structuring paragraphs and essays, this guide to the elements of academic style does its part to rejuvenate scholarship and writing in the humanities.

From the author of Stylish Academic Writing comes an essential new guide for writers aspiring to become more productive and take greater pleasure in their craft. Helen Sword interviewed one hundred academics worldwide about their writing background and practices. Relatively few were trained as writers, she found, and yet all have developed strategies to thrive in their publish-or-perish environment.
So how do these successful academics write, and where do they find the “air and light and time and space,” in the words of poet Charles Bukowski, to get their writing done? What are their formative experiences, their daily routines, their habits of mind? How do they summon up the courage to take intellectual risks and the resilience to deal with rejection?
Sword identifies four cornerstones that anchor any successful writing practice: Behavioral habits of discipline and persistence; Artisanal habits of craftsmanship and care; Social habits of collegiality and collaboration; and Emotional habits of positivity and pleasure. Building on this “BASE,” she illuminates the emotional complexity of the writing process and exposes the lack of writing support typically available to early-career academics. She also lays to rest the myth that academics must produce safe, conventional prose or risk professional failure. The successful writers profiled here tell stories of intellectual passions indulged, disciplinary conventions subverted, and risk-taking rewarded. Grounded in empirical research and focused on sustainable change, Air & Light & Time & Space offers a customizable blueprint for refreshing personal habits and creating a collegial environment where all writers can flourish.

"纳博科夫1950年代在康奈尔大学等高等学府讲授欧洲文学，其后以这些讲稿为基础整理编辑成《文学讲稿》（以及《俄罗斯文学讲稿》）出版。彼时正逢新批评理论在西方文评界盛行，纳博科夫以注重文本分析（有时具体到了几乎逐字逐句讲述的地步）、独特的艺术观和批评方法，丰厚的语言和文学修养，昆虫学研究训练出的逻辑性和严谨风格，使《文学评论》成为运用新批评理论对作家和文学作品具体研究的典范之作。
纳博科夫在这本书里讨论了《曼斯菲尔德庄园》《包法利夫人》《变形记》《尤利西斯》等七部名作，相当于带领学生做了七次艺术侦查和解剖，皆以简洁明晰的语言、深入浅出的方式，极为鲜明地表达他对作品的看法，同时从文本而非观念出发，细致地捕捉和艺术特点，点明作品在艺术上成功的原因。
《文学讲稿》还有一个特点，即较多地引用了作品的原文。这一方面保留了此书原为课堂讲稿的本色，另一方面也具体说明了作者的见解是如何形成的。由此也形成了本书的魅力，即经过纳博科夫的讲解，他把作品中那些原来并未显示出深长意味和特殊价值的文字，如珍珠出蚌般的展示给读者。

本书是一部研究小说魔力的神奇之作——分析其主要元素，颂扬其持久动力。书中对我们这个时代最显著、最时髦的批判深入到了讲故事时的机械设定，由此提出一些基本的问题：当我们说”认识”某个虚构的人物时，这意味着什么？生动的细节由什么构成？何谓成功的隐喻？现实主义是现实的吗？为什么有些文学惯例变得过时，而另一些却保持活力？
从荷马到《给小鸭子让路》，从圣经到约翰·勒卡雷，詹姆斯·伍德广泛取材。本书既是一部虚构手法的研究佳作，也是一部小说的另类史。它幽默、深刻，无论你是作者还是读者，甚或是对此书该兴趣的路人甲，它都将对你有所启迪！
