10th anniversary revised edition with new Introduction

James Wood's How Fiction Works is a scintillating study of the magic of fiction―an analysis of its main elements and a celebration of its lasting power.

Here one of the most prominent and stylish critics of our time looks into the machinery of storytelling to ask some fundamental questions: What do we mean when we say we "know" a fictional character? What constitutes a telling detail? When is a metaphor success

How Fiction Works (Tenth Anniversary Edition): Updated and Expanded by James Wood Book Review

Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: A "new" look at writing
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022
Review: Unlike some books on writing, How Fiction Works takes a larger view of the subject. As such, it really does make the reader think about writing, how writing works, and, of course, how to improve one's own writing. Rather than reading it straight through, I have found myself savoring this volume and gaining valuable insights in every section. Two thumbs up.

Title: It makes me want to Barthes...
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2013
Review: ...sorry about that title, though having typed it, it causes me to think that James Wood would never come up with such word-play and good, I suppose, for him.

He does take Barthes to serious task in quoting Barthes' 1966 observation that narrative represents nothing and that a novel is, in terms of narrative, "language alone, the adventure of language, the unceasing celebration of its coming." Even if Barthes is wrong, he almost proves his point in writing so beautifully about language itself.

Here's Wood himself, almost as good: "I think that novels tend to fail not when the characters are not vivid or deep enough, but when the novel in question has failed to teach us how to adapt to its conventions, has failed to manage a specific hunger for its own characters, its own reality level." I'm not sure that "reality level" would be less clumsy if it were just "world," by maybe Wood is trying to caress, or castigate, some part of David Shields here.

Wood is well read and reads well. He's helped enormously by having a fine ear and eye for the fine analysis by others, from Virginia Woolf to Brigid Lowe (on the very notion of whether fiction is responsible for providing some kind of proof about the world).

His own writing is never less than competent; even if he doesn't know where to put "only," as a modifier, as in "it only needs to ask the right questions," or hears a "hiss" in this (well, there is a hiss in "this" but not in this, which is what he quotes: ""What, quite unmanned in folly?").

He also quotes the same George Eliot words twice. Nice words, but mostly a reminder that this book was no doubt put together from separate essays and neither Wood nor his editors read the book itself carefully enough to avoid such repetition (of this: "Art is the nearest thing to life; it is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds of our personal lot.").

"How Fiction Works" doesn't "read like a novel." It's not supposed to. But it's more involving than most fiction, which may not be saying much, but it's saying something. Something that would be depressing if this book weren't so celebratory, in its way, of what is often good in our fiction and why fiction is important (the novel being "the highest example of subtle interrelatedness that man has discovered," D. H. Lawrence, not quoted by Wood).

Title: The Cover is the Key
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2008
Review: The retro cover says it all. Farrar, Straus knew that it had the next big thing and that the next big thing consisted of a return to the best of the past. The book is receiving a great deal of attention, confirming their prescience.

How Fiction Works is a study of something that is very old-fashioned these days: craft. It is an examination of key elements of fiction and how they are most fully utilized by skilled writers. The vast majority of the writers examined here are canonical ones--another old-fashioned touch. The book is also cognizant of the nuances of narrative history and (a more modern touch) draws on popular culture for key insights. In short, this is a delightful, perceptive "book" book. First and foremost, it is an exceptional read. It is opinionated (though not abusive or flippant) and is a nice example of something that many modern students may never have seen before--judicial criticism. Frye famously argued that judicial criticism is passé, now that we realize that literary "quality" is like the stock market. Particular authors' "stock" rises and falls, depending on generational interests, so we should not concern ourselves with evaluative judgments. That is all very nice, except for the fact that reviewers, referees, acquisition editors and agents are forced to make evaluative judgments and in a world in which 800,000 books are published annually, readers seek help and advice from putative experts.

The book takes part of its inspiration from E. M. Forster's Aspects of the Novel, an interesting little book that has enjoyed some influence. How Fiction Works goes well beyond Forster (sometimes on issues which Forster is associated with specifically, e.g., the distinction between flat' and round' characters). This is a book for both critics and practitioners. It wears its erudition lightly, in the English mode, but its thoughts are often weighty and its insights acute (e.g. the notion that the French are suspicious of realism because of the function of the preterite in their language).

The book is a must read for teachers and students of narrative, both for the importance of its arguments and for its function as an exemplar of what once functioned as "criticism" and might so function once again.
