Sinossi
Come si scrive un bestseller internazionale?
Risponde a questa domanda Elizabeth George, per la stampa «la regina incontrastata del mystery», che grazie ai suoi thriller e gialli è riuscita a rivoluzionare un genere letterario. In queste pagine condivide con aspiranti scrittori e non le sue preziose conoscenze relative al processo creativo.
Qui, la scrittrice che ha inventato l’ispettore Lynley diventa la professionista che non si limita a fare luce sui procedimenti tecnici e narrativi che stanno alla base di uno dei suoi romanzi polizieschi, ma propone anche consigli esperti, chiari, intelligenti e funzionali tutti da sottolineare e ricordare, insieme a veri e propri esercizi guidati.
Se da un lato L’arte di costruire un romanzo rappresenta un giubbetto di salvataggio per chi ha un’idea ma non sa come svilupparla e ha un evidente risvolto pratico, interessante e informativo, dall’altro questo libro diventa anche un viaggio all’interno di un mestiere difficilissimo, che, come risulta evidente, Elizabeth George ama e comprende benissimo.

Ignore the stars. I put them in because I wanted to let everyone know about my book "Mastering the Process", which will be available on April 7. This is a book about writing, specifically about the process of putting together a novel. It's the process I have developed over the years since my first n Leggi tutto
Didn't make it very far through this one. The beginning tips were so filled with passages from her own book, I felt like she was giving me a manual for writing her book, not mine. Maybe it gets better if you can soldier through that portion.
An unusual and wonderful read that should appeal to anyone who loves books. I admit to being a huge George fan. I also have no intention of ever writing a novel so I read this more for insight into George than I did to learn how to do so. George is a master of the complex mystery and of characters w Leggi tutto
There are many excellent books on the writing process. But Elizabeth George stands out for me because she uses one of her own works to show what it really takes to write a page-turning work of fiction. The running plot, the plot kernel, the use of all five senses, how to develop characters, scenes a Leggi tutto
WAY too many excerpts from the author’s own work. I’m talking pages and pages. There was more self-promotion than actual advice.
If you were trying or planning to write fiction I can see where this book could certainly be helpful. Having read quite a few of her novels it was interesting to see her creative processes explained.
Packed full of useful information, I truly wish this book had been around years ago when I started writing seriously. As I work to get back into writing years after a fork in the road, I found much of this to be a helpful refresher. There are two chapters I particularly liked- The Thad and Step Outl Leggi tutto
Couldn’t get through the book. She had a few good tips, but for the most part it just felt like reading her other book chopped up. There were excerpts inserted that would be 5+ pages. Felt more like self promotion than advice. Unhelpful, to say the least.
