James Wood , staff writer for The New Yorker, is one of the finest literary critics at work today. In HOW FICTION WORKS he explores the many elements that go into the making of a novel—characterization, detail, dialogue—along with that elusive, yet utterly unmistakable mark of a master, the style. Wood focuses on realism, and draws on Flaubert to illuminate our contemporary writers such as Updike and Le Carré. His discussion is spirited and far-reaching. Available in hardcover.
